No bragging, no bashing; stick to the agenda; Angie's new success mantra!

“We will do everything to ensure that the next four years will be successful ones for Germany” the ecstatic Chancellor Angela Merkel on her hat-trick victory.

Truly spectacular; yes! that's how the poll results can be summarized. Sunday; the 22^nd, marked the day which ended with a bundle of extraordinary surprises, so also a handful of unexpected exists of many political aspirations from the political arena. The much anticipated results of the general elections are out in the open, Angela Merkel has proved yet again, she is definitely here to stay! As she comes out stronger and more popular than ever, a new chapter is all set to be written in golden words in German politics. What an exceptional wit and strategy, CDU and (it's sister party) Bavarian CSU have not just triumphed on the political front, but has held the German populace spellbound. No pun, no blame game, no mudslinging, no false promises but a straight and clear message 'No experiments' which kept the ball rolling in Merkel's court. Everyone lauded the slogan because Germany is indeed the undisputed financial leader of EU zone and doesn't need any further experimentation with its policies which are already going at a sturdy pace.

An intelligent planner as she is, Angela Merkel has all the traits of a far sighted and a shrewd politician. Her clear understanding of German electorate's mentality safeguarded her an easy win. On the whole, CDU kept its election campaign bland and subtle, just the flavour Germans relish the most. The litmus paper test to identify a German is simple, just check whether he maintains his straight face in all situations (no matter how acidic or how basic), if he does then Voila! he is a German and congratulations! your analysis is successful. This is exactly what Merkel and her party did, kept a straight and calm face throughout the election campaign and hushed all the critics by saying “Silence...Ruhe da! Our electorate also wants some peace and quiet.” They hit the nail just on the right spot as they could cleverly read the minds of the voters. This absolute or majority victory is a tribute to German's addiction to silence. Interestingly, the election manifesto for Merkel's party included the clause “One in two Germans feels troubled by noise” and suggested that the party would try to improve the situation to ensure the needed calm.

It was not the magical wand she held in her hand, it was her dexterous manipulation and political craftsmanship, which worked so exceedingly well in her favour. Let's have a sneak peek at the exotic skills and secrets of this wonder woman.

• Her fair deliverance of promises of continuity.

• Steadiness

• The calm she and her cadre exhibited

• To deter from petty politics of smashing opponents and personal attacks, channelising energies in highlighting party's achievements and future strategies.

The party posters simply read 'Merkel: Chancellor for Germany' or 'Successful Together' or the slogan once pioneered by Germany's first postwar Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, 'No experiments'.The low key campaigning style seems to have struck an instant chord with the public, it lent a air of authenticity and transparency, more of a truth factor which the people could easily identify.

The German public has chosen this chancellor for the third term as someone who prefers to wait before taking decisions and calls, who has proved to be a leader; who has risen against all odds, and is difficult to nail down. The transition of Germany from nuclear to natural resources owes the successful implementation to Merkel. Following the tsunami and tragedy which struck Fukushima, Japan in 2011, it was a conscious and unanimous decision taken by the Chancellor and her cabinet. It turned out to be a move which allowed her to take control of the primary motive of the Green Party. Likewise, by significantly increasing the social benefits to German families, pursuing minimum wage deals, controlling rent rises and improving gender equality, she took over Social Democrats.

Amid the Euro zone crises, the chancellor managed to keep Germany financially sound and stable. I am sure, somewhere Germans are grateful to her, even though she proved to be a nightmare for crises hit Southern Europe, back home the economy remained robust. Germany remained immune to the recession symptoms which plagued the European continent.

The Sunday's election results on one hand have put CDU in a commanding position, while on the other, they threw its pro business partner, the Free Democrats (FDP) out of parliament for the first time since 1949 as they could not garner the minimum 5% of votes required to secure seats in Bundestag.

Did you know?

1) Merkel's stunning score of 41.5%; the greatest victory ever for the conservatives since national reunification in 1990.

2) If she serves until 2017, she will become Europe's longest serving female leader, surpassing Margaret Thatcher who was Britain's prime minister for 11 years.

Even though her stand against the recession suffering countries is too harsh, the German voters granted her a landslide victory in the elections in a way fully endorsing her strategy of biting financial reforms in return for funding bailouts. “The stabilization of the Euro is not just a good thing for Europe but it's also in Germany's fundamental interest” she maintained and that's exactly what she is making sure. Though this phenomenal win has not gone down too well with her critics. Political scientist Mils Diederich says Merkel had a tendency to bleed her coalition partners dry. “You can relate Ms. Merkel to a spider that feeds on the flies it captures. That is what she did to the Social Democrats in 2009 and that is what she is doing now with the FDP.”

Whatever her policies be and whatever the critics say, what we all know is, she is Forbes most powerful woman in the world and today's verdict puts a seal on this testimony. This Sunday brought to the forefront the German electorate who shouted in unison “Ruhe da! Merkel, you are very much going to be this time too.”

Who says Politics is a dirty game, it can even be upright, sensible, simple and intelligent.

Angie you have won not just the elections, you have won hearts! Way to go....
