German politicians have finally reached a post-election agreement between the social democratic SPD party, the Greens and the Liberal Democratic FDP party, an agreement that will kick the centre-right CDU out of government for the first time since 2005. The deal will be presented later today and will make Olaf Scholz the new Chancellor, replacing Angela Merkel. If all parties approve, Scholz will be elected Chancellor the week starting December 6^th.
