A series of seven state elections in 2011 could turn into a nightmare for Chancellor Angela Merkel and her coalition partner, led by Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle. Opinion polls suggest the elections will reflect a dramatic slump in support for their coalition.

The rise of the Green Party in Germany both regionally and nationally mirrors profound societal changes in the country.
