German politics

German politics is characterized by a parliamentary system where the Bundestag (parliament) is elected by citizens and determines government leadership. The Chancellor, usually from the leading party or coalition, heads the government and sets policy priorities. Multiple political parties, including the Christian Democrats, Social Democrats, Greens, and Free Democrats, shape policymaking. The Bundestag crafts laws, approves budgets, and oversees the government. Germany values consensus, environmental sustainability, and social welfare. The political landscape is dynamic, with parties forming coalitions to govern, reflecting diverse societal interests within a stable democratic framework.
