There is a German word, alternativlos, meaning without alternative, used by former chancellor Angela Merkel. She ruled Germany for 16 years and used to describe a new legislations as being without alternative. If I remember correctly, her quote was criticized even by linguists(?) philosophers(?) being nonsense as the notion of no-alternative contradicts the essential meaning of "alternative".
