German coalition deal will bring stability -- for now
Significance The agreement ends more than four months of political deadlock since the September 2017 elections. Impacts The AfD will become the leading opposition party in parliament, giving it a platform to expand its influence. Government work will be held to account more comprehensively than in 2013-17 thanks to the fragmented and diverse parliamentary opposition. There will be no change to Germany’s stance on the Brexit negotiations.
