BERLIN — What will Germany look like after Angela Merkel’s era and how will its role evolve in Europe and beyond? ADVERTISEMENTThese are just some of the questions thrown up by Sunday’s hotly contested election. That could change after the election, with fragmented voting likely to result in a three-party coalition government. The latest opinion polls have Merkel’s CDU and the CSU, its Bavarian sister party, on around 22 percent — which would be their worst election score in post-war Germany. In the last election in 2017 under Merkel, the conservatives scored 32.8 percent.
