The opinion on her victory differs and I think she is a terrible politician. She basically ensured that Germany is isolated and without allies in the EU. The Germans have this problem as they think because they are the biggest economy in the EU that all other countries should follow the German model. The idiotic bailouts largely financed by Germany were a mistake and as a condition the Germans forced their will on the periphery.

Nothing good has come out of it and in essence what Germany does now is the same the Nazis did with the difference being they use economic weapons rather than the military and we all know money is a more powerful weapon than the military. One thing that plenty ignore is that Germany has introduced what some refer to as modern slavery into their labor market in order to push down the unemployment rate artificially. While lowering the unemployment rate it also exploits workers and everyone with a bit of understanding knows that the German labor laws are terrible.

There are plenty other areas where Germany fails, such as finance and domestic economy, and plenty of German CEO's do seek change, but voters for now have decided to hand Merkel her third term and I think
she will use it to convince them to vote for the opposition (which in my opinion is even worse) next time. Unless the EU engages into some structural reforms as the UK demanded, it is doomed to collapse even before the US will.
 
I don't think that it is a bad thing. Looks like it better this way now. At least we have the stability in Germany without any considerable movements. Because with today's situation in the USA there has to be at least something to rely on.
 
I think German voters, as plenty of others, had to pick the better choice out of two terrible choices.

There will never be even one politician that is good for everybody. I think Merkel is found the way to comfort people saying: "You don't have to worry about anything! Aunt Merkel keeps everything under control. Don't think: work,eat, sleep."
 
...Women in politics is a separate conversation at all, as there is still some disdain for them, and so on. I think that Merkel has had to not only work as a politician, but also constantly prove her right to do so...
 
I know she has been criticized a lot, but overall she has come a long way and made a lot of achievements. It's always easy to watch from the outside and just criticize, it's much harder to act and sometimes make mistakes, but I think she's a big page in German history.
