| − | Merz's bid to become Germany's 10th chancellor since [[World War II]] failed by six votes in parliament. Merz needed a majority of 316 out of 630 votes. He only received 310 votes — well short of the 328 seats held by his [[coalition]] with [[Socialist]]s. Because the vote was held by secret ballot, it was not immediately clear — and might never be known — who had defected from Merz’s camp. Merz had excluded the [[conservative populist]] [[Alternative for Germany]], the largest voting bloc in the [[Bundestag]], from a power sharing agreement, choosing instead to form a coalition government of his so-called "[[Christian Democratic Union]]" with the godless [[Social Democratic Party]] which had only recently been voted out of power. In an unprecedented second ballot, Merz received 325 votes. The Merz regime was not expected to last very long. | + | Merz's bid to become Germany's 10th chancellor since [[World War II]] failed by six votes in parliament.
