I want my Money back

They advertised a sweeping victory for the forces of conservatism in Germany. What did we get?

Provisional results give the Christian Democrats 35.2% of the vote, or 225 seats, against 34.3% for Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's Social Democrats. Germany now faces days and possibly weeks of uncertainty which could result in the two parties forming a coalition.

No flat tax, no reforms and no embarrassment to the biggest ego in European politics (after Chirac of course). Thats not what you advertised, I want my Money back.
