WHY DO POLITICIANS WAIT FOR MERKEL ?

In the last General Election in Germany in September 2017 no Political Party obtained a Majority of the votes.   Once again another Coalition of Parties is needed to form a new Government. 

Since 2001 Angela Merkel has repeatedly been chosen as Chancellor by her Party or a Coalition, to rule in Germany.  During this period she had also, as the German representative, been very active in EU politics. 

Now everyone waits and watches her vain attempts to form another Coalition.   Is there no one else in Germany but Angela Merkel who wants to be Chancellor ?   When will President Steinmeier declare that another General Election should be held ?

Germans are not alone waiting for such urgent action !   The European Union, with its 29 Member countries, also needs the active participation of Germany, to solve urgent current problems.

The EU at present is at a standstill, in spite of the current problems of BREXIT, Refugees and Immigration, Terrorism in EU member countries, the Middle East war,....  

After BREXIT could there be other "EXITS" by non-Eurozone countries ?

President Steinmeier has the power to solve the problem inside Germany, but EU problems also need a solution !  Those are the responsibility of the European Council of Leaders, of which he is also the representative for Germany, but can he really officially speak for Germany before it has a Government ?
