BERLIN (Reuters) - The leader of the youth wing of Germany's Social Democrats (SPD) is optimistic a majority of the party's members will vote down another alliance with Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives, he told Reuters on Friday.
The result of the SPD's binding ballot of its roughly 464,000 members will be announced on Sunday, more than five months after an inconclusive parliamentary election.
Europe's largest economy and pre-eminent power-broker would probably face a new election or a minority government if SPD members reject another tie-up with Merkel.
Kevin Kuehnert, leader of the SPD's Jusos youth wing, has spent the last few weeks touring the country campaigning against a re-run of the 'grand coalition' that took power in 2013. He said his encounters with SPD members made him upbeat about the prospect of the 'No' camp winning.
