German Election Results Thread

[Sibboleth]

I suppose that should be a "than".

Who would have thought that the first lingustic cock-up on a thread about elections in Germany on an anglophone forum would have been by a native English speaker...

Makes sense.

Yeah, it's what I expected to find as well. But worth noting, I think.

[KuntaKinte]

Terrible day for social democracy in Germany. I'm really depressed. Never thought this would get that bad.

[I left.]

so how much did the Pirates cost the left-wing?

[Vasall des Midas]

198 precincts
CDU 27.3
SPD 23.4
Greens 16.0
FDP 16.0
Left 11.7
Pirates 2.5
Animals 1.1
NPD 1.0

CDU ahead by about three points in both direct constituencies.

[And-L]

kunta kinte where is a site for follow the live of ballot?

[Vasall des Midas]

You'd have to follow the diverse state and municipal sites. Federal site will only show completed constituencies and thus not be interesting for hours. Actually, much the same will hold for many state sites.

A bit of District 66 is in (Brandenburg):

Zenker, Thomas (SPD)     2.504    25,9 %
Dr. Brie, Andreas (DIE LINKE)    2.719    28,1 %
Stübgen, Michael (CDU)    2.947    30,5 %

Was roughly 35-26-26 for SPD in 2005.

so how much did the Pirates cost the left-wing?

I read on the internet the pirates got about 2%, what is much more i expected. Thanks to the record low turnout of course, at least to a degree.

nooo this is a very bad news.. italy is better

@And-L

It's like Lewis Trondheim said.

What really scares me ist the decline of the two major parties. Together they are down to 55-57%.

[Hans-im-Glück]

Now I'm back from my work in my polling station. The afternoon was not so bad i expect.

The result in Germany is for the SPD a disaster. The only good for them is this result is so bad, they must change something. With a CDU/CSU- FDP government they can make a good opposition and maybe then the voters come back to the SPD.

The Left has a very good result and the Greens have a good result too.

Now  it gives a Black- Yellow government in Germany. This is not my wish, but we will alive it. I lived 16 years with Helmut Kohl and then I can live 4 years with the clown Westerwelle as minister.

Oh, sry, I mixed up the comparison for SPD and CDU ...

[Democratic Hawk]

I'd have been torn between the CDP and SPD this time, maybe even casting an SPD ballot if only to keep the FDP out but I'm pleased Merkel has been re-elected Chancellor. It's important that Germany continues the fight in Afghanistan

Still, there is hope reforms will not be too radical

http://www.rttnews.com/ArticleView.aspx?Id=1047441

A victory for the Conservative-Liberal coalition would open opportunities for labor market reforms, with the FDP's numerous proposals which include curtailing employee rights and hence making labor a more flexible resource in order to create new jobs. However, the employee wing of the CDU/CSU would be unlikely to support these proposals. Hence, a Conservative-Liberal government would only implement a diluted version of the FDP's agenda.

[Vasall des Midas]

Worth noting that turnout is low in areas full of old conservative non-posh people too.

Sossenheim
Turnout 62.6
CDU 34.2, SPD 22.1, FDP 15.7, Left 12.1, Greens 9.8

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

[London Man]

It's important that Germany continues the fight in Afghanistan

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

It's called a war crime.
