GERMANY-POLITICS-PARTIES-SPD

Martin Schulz (R), leader of Germany's social democratic SPD party, plays with his wedding ring next to German Labour and Social Minister Andrea Nahles during an extraordinary SPD party congress in Bonn, western Germany, on January 21, 2018. Germany's divided Social Democrats holds a crunch vote on whether to pursue a coalition deal with German Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives, or plunge the nation into political turmoil. At the extraordinary congress, 600 delegates from the centre-left SPD and its 45-member board will have their say on entering into formal talks for a renewed alliance with Merkel's centre-right CDU/CSU bloc. / AFP PHOTO / SASCHA SCHUERMANN (Photo credit should read SASCHA SCHUERMANN/AFP via Getty Images)
