Merkelist 

Someone who wants to destroy their own country.

A naive person who makes irrational, impulsive decisions without thinking through the consequences. Someone who wants to undo all the good work of their patriotic predecessors.

An individual in high authority who acts irresponsibly e.g. Like a teenager who invites everyone to her house party on social media. They have a great party but in the cold sober light of the next day, the gatecrashers have wrecked her parents house. A Merkelist will do this with a whole country, or even worse, an entire Union of countries!
The policies of that party are going to bring havoc to this country, their leader must be a Merkelist.
