saw no way of continuing the coalition and urged him to pave the way for snap elections.<\/p>\n<p>This resulted in Scholz announcing he would sack him, two people with knowledge of the discussions told POLITICO.<\/p>\n<p>Although Scholz could potentially seek to continue ruling in a minority government, he has no majority to pass a budget, increasing the likelihood of a vote of no confidence and snap elections \u2014 potentially in early March.<\/p>\n<p>The FDP is the smallest party in the coalition and is now\u00a0<a
