The Christian Democratic Union and the Bavarian Christian Social Union won the German election with about 29% of the vote. The AfD came in second, but underperformed. The overall breakdown of seats is as follows:
CDU/CSU 14,158,432 28.52 208
AfD 10,327,148 20.80 152
SPD 8,148,284 16.41 120
Greens 5,761,476 11.61 85
Die Linke 4,355,382 8.77 64
Others 2,273,817 4.58 1
BSW 2,468,670 4.97 0
FDP 2,148,878 4.33 0
The Social Democratic Party had been in power.
The government will be a coalition government with Friedrich Merz as the Chancellor. Like me, Merz is Catholic, a lawyer, and had served as an artilleryman.

Not really a popular election, but an internal party one in a parliamentary system, the Liberal Party of Canada has chosen Mark Carney to be head of its party and hence the new Prime Minster, replacing Justin Trudeau.
Trudeau had become deeply unpopular, but rallied the country nonetheless when Canada became the subject of economic attack due to the closeted autarkic policies of demented infant, Donny Trump. Trump, who has the brain of a two year old, took to insulting Trudeau repeatedly and now Canadians hate the United States. Carney is an economist who is well suited for the role of dealing with "but I learned this in the Classic Comics cartoon about William B. McKinley" approach to taxation being exhibited by Mango Mussolini.

Carney also holds British and Irish citizenship, and in 2015 was declared the most influential Catholic in Britain. Both outgoing Trudeau and incoming Carney made it once again clear that Canada will not be entering the United States.
