I should also mention that this doesn't help the UK either. While Merkel is busy seeking out a coalition she isn't doing anything to further the UK's agenda in Brexit. It was a hope in some quarters that she would take control of the negotiation alongside the rest of the Council, however she has other things on her mind now.

Anyone would think it might've been a good idea to have waiting until after the French and German elections to trigger A50 - even if it potentially meant the UK having an election while still having MEPs.
