#1 Succession will be interesting. Friedrich Merz would be a great choice. He's what you would call an undogmatic conservative with strong (classical) liberal ideas about the economy (including taxes).

Merkel's choice would be Annegret Kramp Karrenbauer (aka "AKK"), the current general secretary of the CDU. Not very excited about her. She's Merkel 2.0

Third choice Jens Spahn. Current health secretary. Please no. He's an opportunistic lightweight.
