Smart of him. Scholz can own the SPD’s loss. And afterwards, Pistorius will still be there.

German defence minister Boris Pistorius has officially declared he is not seeking the nomination as SPD chancellor candidate, ending speculations.

From a British perspective (and an entirely selfish British perspective) are any of the contenders likely to want to re-affirm the now dead UK-Germany defence treaty?

Pistorius could get the SPD up to 22% in the pollls. Scholz could potentially tank the SPD to lower than the AfD at 15%. A bigger share of the vote would guarantee a better negotiating position in coalition talks.

I see now a chance that Pistorius could remain in his duty in the next government. Thus avoiding yet another fail from the conservatives in this job.

That means Pistorius sees no hope of winning this election, right?

There is no hope for the SPD too win. But they may very well end up in government as the junior coalition partner.

You’re right, winning is out of the question. I guess not losing seats would count as a win. Probably I should have said “SPD having a shot at keeping the chancellorship”.
