Social Democratic Party members vote to form a power-sharing "grand coalition" government with the Christion Democratic Union during a SPD meeting in Karlsruhe, November 14, 2005. Members of Germany's centre-left SDP voted overwhelmingly on Monday to approve a coalition agreement struck last week with their longtime rivals, the conservatives led by Angela Merkel.
