Merz is hemmed in politically. Some 2/3 of Germans say that Israelâs actions in Gaza have gone too far. 43% want to limit weapons exports. Another 30% want an embargo. Importantly Merzâs partner, the Bavarian CSU, is against. By chance Bavaria is home to some of Germanyâs biggest arms companies

Labourâs policy remains âmake Brexit workâ. Many pro-Europeans know this and are shifting to the LibDems and the Greens. Labour meanwhile stands in awe of Farage and is trying to fight him on his own turf. This strategy will fail. If this continues Farage has an excellent chance in 2029
