Good. If only 18% want Merz back, that says everything. The man is out of touch, polarising, and a walking reminder of why voters hate internecine CDU drama.

CDU needs renewal, not reruns. If they want any shot in 2029, they should stop grooming relics and pick someone younger and pragmatic who can actually broaden the party’s appeal.
