Exit poll found that, in a straight choice, 46% wanted a Grand Coalition and only 40% CDU/CSU-FDP.

Currrent ARD "score" (30 minutes ago)
CDU 33.4
SPD 22.7
FDP 14.8
Linke 12.5
Greens 10.6
Pirates 2.1
Others 3.9

As for proper results, give it an hour or two. Hang on...

Lot of Christians in the old GDR.

Last time, it wasn't done and dusted for several days.

49% rated unemployment as the biggest issue, which is seemingly 31% down on 2005.

Parties were fairly split on the issues.

Can someone explain why the SPD is getting such a whipping?

Short version: being in coalition with the CDU for four years did not exactly help the party with its base or with lefty swing voters.

Ah, I see.

So are official unemployment figures. (shrugs)

Official or "official"?

All offical unemployment statistics are in fact "official".

Of course.

Remind me how many seats is needed for a majority in the Bundestag?

Wow, Brandenburg looks like a mess and a half. Grand Coalition likely there.

That depends on how many seats there are. That's variable Smiley

Now I remember. The overhanging mandates. What a stupid idea. Especially when ordering stationery.

Don't bother to understand it, it's been declared unconstitutional from 2011.

Good!

Can we compare this to UK 1983? In a way?

It's important that Germany continues the fight in Afghanistan

Indeed. Provided it avoids any more incidents like that fuel tanker one.
