"As a coalition partner to the Union parties, SPD has lost many political vitality, because small parties cannot fulfill its wills under the Grand Coalition. They usually have to compromise, which tarnishes parties' images. SPD becomes the second largest party in the parliament after the election, but they will not cooperate with Merkel again. It will take some time for recovery, and it needs to return to the opposition."

The Social Democratic Party (SPD) is unlikely to be the coalition partner to the Union parties to form a new German government, while Angela Merkel continues as chancellor of Germany, according to Professor Gu Xuewu , Director of the Center for Global Studies of Bonn University.
The conservative union led by German sitting Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday defended its dominant role in the Bundestag (German parliament) with 32.5 percent of the vote, according to the preliminary exit poll.
Preliminary exit poll showed that the SPD won 20 percent of the vote in Sunday's parliamentary election under the lead of Martin Schulz, becoming the second largest party, and Alternative for Germany (AfD) got a vote share over 13 percent, becoming the third largest party.
