GERMANY: ***Commentators generally making the point that Merkel needs to create
a Jamaican coalition this morning to include the Greens and Liberals
particularly as the SPD leader ruled out forming a Grand coalition with the
CDU/CSU on Sunday.
- Barclays speak of a "hollowing of the centre" in terms of the political
spectrum.
- All commentators make a similar point that a Jamaica coalition would slow
further European reform, mainly down to the influence of the Liberal FDP. 
- Holge Sandte at Nordea sees a "business-friendly approach with a green touch
and not too much enthusiasm towards further Euro-area integration"
- Barclays add that the strong showing of the AfD could move some CDU
politicians "toward a more hawkish stance on fiscal risk sharing".
