All right, Alexander, let's talk about what is happening in Germany.

Trouble for the pirate, for Pirate Schultz.

He's got some trouble.

How easy is it for a government in Germany to collapse?

I don't think it's easy to have a collapse in the government in Germany, is it?

But Schultz is heading towards that, but it's going to be the mechanism.

It's going to be very difficult.

So I mean, Germany is stuck with Schultz.

Yes, it is very, very difficult indeed.

I mean, the whole political structure in Germany was designed after the Second World

War to make a governmental crisis all but impossible to ensure political stability above

all because of the, you know, the memories that people had back then of what happened in the 1920s

during the time of the Weimar Republic. So a political crisis, a collapse of a government in Germany

is an extraordinarily difficult thing. And it's, by the way, very difficult in Germany to change governments at all

when it happens, which it does, obviously. I mean, it tends to be a gradual incremental process.

If you go back, for example, to the time when the CDU began to lose power in Germany in the late 1960s and the

SBD government eventually emerged, led by Vili Brandt. I mean, it didn't happen from one day

to the next. I mean, it was, you had to go through a whole series of events. First,

Adenauer had to retire through a whole series of events. First, I don't know, had to retire.

Then we had the brief period of Ludwig Erhard being Chancellor.

And then, you know, gradually the SPD and the third party, the Free Democrats,

had to develop a sort of relationship with each other.
