Gerhard Schroeder will remain the German Chancellor after Germany's recent elections, but his majority in Parliament has become extremely narrow. His Social Democrats (SPD) got 38.5 percent of the vote, and so did the Christian Democrats (CDU/CSU) of his rival, Edmund Stoiber. The main reason Schroeder won is that his coalition partner, the Greens, came out slightly ahead of the Free Democrats (FDP), who would otherwise most probably have formed a center-right government with the CDU/CSU.
