On 6th November 2024, the German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, dismissed the FDP party leader Christian Lindner who held the position of the finance minister. This caused the FDP to leave the government coalition, meaning that the government no longer had a majority. The question looming now is when will an election be called. Grüne and SPD supporters were in favor of the election being called in March, whilst supporters of all other political parties would prefer that the election was called as soon as possible.
