Good achievable idea or the usual historical German hubris and over-confidence similar to the 1000 year Reich that lasted 6 years?
As a result Lord Haw-Haw pays Euro 310 a quarter leccy bill for his tiny one-bed flat.

As I said, Merkel should be re-elected, might well need a coalition with the tiny but often critical FDP, and that policy will probably either be dumped or so dramatically 'adapted' that there'll be nothing left of it. Good thing too.
