Germany’s main political parties reacted with bluster and a show of nerves, June 2007 to the birth of a new political force, the Left party, which could shake up the country’s political architecture. The Left party – which on 17 June 2007 completed a two-year merger process between the east German ex-communist PDS, and a west German leftwing splinter party – has overnight become Germany’s largest opposition party, with 72,000 members.
