This is the Thatcher solution, which took almost everyone by surprise. Angela Merkel was sometimes called the German Iron Lady, and that seems to have scared enough people to rob her of an expected victory.
一种办法是不管人们可能的反对，径直推行改革。撒切尔的改革就属于此类，所有人都被惊得目瞪口呆。安格拉·默克尔有时被誉为德国的铁娘子，这似乎吓住了很多人，夺走了她预期能够取得的胜利。而即便她真的当选德国总理，也依然没有权力进行深度改革。
