FRANKFURT, Sept 11 (AFP): For an election that is being fought on largely economic issues, many people in Germany seem to believe that the fortunes of the eurozone's biggest economy will not change very quickly even if conservative challenger Angela Merkel wins the September 18 poll.
With nigh-on five million people without a job, the overriding theme of this general election is, of course, unemployment.
But most of those people on the dole do not believe their plight will improve much if there is a change in government, as they fail to detect any major differences in the economic platforms of either the ruling coalition of Social Democrat and Green parties or their conservative challengers, the Christian Union (CDU/CSU).
