second largest party in parliament but their standing has been flagging since the party's poor election results last september. the latest polls suggest if people voted now chancellor angela merkel's conservatives would score thirty three percent of the vote far ahead of the s.p.d. which would get only eighteen percent and that's just four points ahead of the far right alternative for germany party which would score fourteen percent the business friendly f.t.p. would score ten percent the greens on the left party eleven percent each the center left s.p.d. recently agreed to formal talks with chancellor merkel's conservatives with the aim of forming another grand coalition public opinion on the prospect is mixed in the future this means a standstill nothing will get done it's a lame compromise thing for i think it's crucial for germany that the two parties unite to dream i was hoping for a different result less than half of those polled forty six percent approve of

a grand coalition government fifty two percent disagree but just over half still think chancellor merkel should keep her job fifty one percent of german surveyed felt good or very good about the chancellor remaining at the helm while forty six percent had a less favorable opinion of her leadership as a head i would have liked to see a change but are you convinced that i support the chancellor we have no other choice. both parties will meet this weekend for further talks but even if they're successful in forming a coalition there's not much enthusiasm for it on the streets. let's talk through this political correspondent kate brady who joins us from our parliament studio. welcome kate germans don't say i'm not keen on a grand coalition anymore. governed by well in the last government why they got off

the idea. well the main reason fail is that voters just as we were hearing in the run up to september election is that they want change there's a real sense of political stagnation in germany right now and we've had two ground coalitions in three of merkel's terms in office and we've also seen both of the parties involved it well that especially two of the three parties involved in this grand coalition moving towards the center ground of germany's political spectrum and in turn those social democrats especially have really lost their identity and have been overshadowed by conservatives and she's poached many of the party's policies and this is also the main reason why many people especially from the s.p.d. from the social democrats oppose a new grand coalition because they feel that if they were to join a new grand coalition then this wouldn't give the party the opportunity to

regenerate and redefine its profile at the same time the only other options on the table are a minority government which is something that angela merkel has ruled out on several occasions all week go back to the polls and see new elections here in germany but as we've seen from the polls that you were just talking about there there really isn't that much change and so we still see the c.d.u. and the c.s.u. coming out top i mean well the child's was a popularity the slide. well it certainly has decreased already ten percent since the german election back in september but of course it is a reality that one day she will no longer be germany's chancellor but at the moment there is this reoccurring question and this is a quite important one for her party as well and who is going to replace angola moco because right now there really is no feasible alternative so even if we don't see

a deal coming out of these grand coalition talks in the next couple of days we're not suddenly going to see her disappear overnight so those talks continue into this weekend a do we expect to do well the posse is involved in these grand coalition talks have set a very loose deadline for sunday evening so we could theoretically see a deal as early as sunday night but there is a couple of buffer days and we can see them also going to the wire once again and if they want to reach this goal by east as we keep pairing from negotiators of the new government then the certainly going to have to speed up talks in the coming days brady thank you for not germany's bundesliga cologne welcome back a former coach of peter sterger sponsored dortmund to visit for the first game of much to a twenty one the austrian enjoyed a successful spelling cologne but will be taking no prisoners as his new side
