Two nerdy German coalition questions...
1. Is there any likely situation where no 2 party coalition would work?
2. If the GRÜNE were the largest party would GRÜNE-CDU/CSU be tried rather than Green-Red-Red?

On 1. I suppose CDU/CSU, GRÜNE and SPD all getting 20-23%, AfD 15, Linke and FDP 10 each, others 5 is not impossible, but is pretty unlikely...
On 2. if the GRÜNE did well enough to be the largest party, that’d mean Green-Red-Red would work, that’d surely be easier to do than a coalition with CDU as junior partner?
Although the BaWü experience might show it would be possible...
Note: these questions are of very niche interest, but I’d be keen to hear views nevertheless!
