*stagnancy, not stability

Which is, incidentally, exactly what happened both with Kohl and Merkel.

How did Germany stagnate between 2005 and 2021?

Is this question serious?

Lack of social reforms, lack of financial reforms, lack of infrastructure reforms, lack of energy reforms, the list goes on. All that was ever done was kicking the can down the road and here we are today.

It’s not like countries with term limits fared better on average

Maybe not, but I think it's overall better to have term limits than to be stuck with an asshole leader for 20+ years

Germany had a higher than average anual GDP growth (Europe), so yeah, the question was totally serious.

You said it stagnated, which it didn’t.
Don’t lie if you’re not prepared to face some head wind for it.

Putting words in my mouth won’t make your statement any more true.

Understandable, have a nice day.

I truly wish you the same
