Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : She narrowly held on to power in 2017 in coalition with the SPD, but announced that she would not be standing for a fifth term, which brings us neatly up to date with a reprise of Sympathy in 2019, where a much older Merkel takes on the role of the girl on the stairs forced to bear the attentions of the monstrous Arse Dog Johnson, getting Brexit done all over the carpet.
38% : For me, Merkel's finest hour, after her extremely guarded response to Cameron's feeble attempts to renegotiate the terms of Britain's membership of the European Union, came in response to the terrible refugee crisis of 2015 to 2016.
