Norway is no longer in Europe. Official.

Probably the old EU=Europe, not EU=not Europe.

Ok, stupid question from the US, did the Pirates run as a left leaning party? If so, than combined with Greens, Linke and SPD that would be really close to CDU/FDP vote total. Once again the threshold law rears it head.

Swedish PP sits in G-EFA, so, yeah, they're obviously more left though they don't, afaik, claim to be so directly.

Incidentally, it looks like FDP gained a lot of ground today. What is the explanation for that? Is it just reaping the benefit of being in opposition to a grand coalition or has there been some sudden growth in yearning for deregulation and tax cuts in Germany (ie: all the policies that have led the world economy down the garden path esp. in the US)

Most likely economically right-wing CDU voters.

I can't wait until real results flow in.

I note that the CSU has lost about one percentage point - one in seven voters - while the CDU is approximately stable.

Bavaria Exit Poll:

CSU: 41%
SPD: 16.5%
FDP: 15.5%
Greens: 11.5%
Left: 6.5%

Would be hilarious if the FDP surpassed the SPD.

What happened to the DVU in Brandenburg?

Unemployed voters:
Left 26
SPD 22
CDU/CSU 21
FDP 10
Greens 9
other 12

Now, a east-west breakdown on that would be fun.

Lot of Christians in the old GDR.

GDR voting patterns aren't based as much on sociological stuff as they are in the West.

What's the number for each party in constituencies now?

Election.de has 103 CDU-CSU, 12 SPD, 1 Left. Didn't update recently, though, so CDU and SPD numbers went up a tad.

Btw, I want Erding and Lehel. Hurry up you Bavarians.

[Hash]

Erding (direct vote)!

CSU 48.9 (-9.4)
SPD 17.6 (-7.2)
FDP 11.9 (6.5)
Green 12.7 (5.2)
Left 4.4 (1.

SPD wins 3 seats in Hamburg, CDU wins the remaining 3.

Is Stuttgart suburbia in Baden-Wurttemburg that large and wealthy?

Somebody also explain what's up with FDP support in the Rhineland-Palatinate. I don't recall there being any wealthy suburbia or cities in those areas it does well in.

[Hash]

When's the last time a third party (not counting the CSU) won as many constituency seats as The Left did yesterday?

The FDP won a bunch of direct seats in northern Hesse in 1949-1953 or so. Maybe the DP won a few in 1949, though not 16 iirc.

[Hash]

The region is western Rhineland with the high FDP-share is probably due to the proximity of Luxembourg. Many people commute there to work in the financial and insurance sector I guess.

Traditionally, vintners on the Mosel have been voting FDP.

Why? Tradition?

I'm just surprised that out of all of Germany, the FDP has no areas that they have a concentration enough that they win direct seats.

Their vote is more spread out compared to the Left or even Greenies, and their strongest areas are also normally very strong CDU-CSU.

I'm wondering if anyone has a link to a source with a full list of all the little parties that ran and their percentage of the vote. Most sources just show about 6% for sonstige and I'd like to know the ideoligical breakdown of that vote (I'm guessing Pirates and NDP are the biggest of the others).

Vera Lengsfeld got 11.6%. The worst result in Germany for the CDU.

Did she ever have a chance in her constituency, or did making a clean breast of things with her campaign poster hurt her chances?

Why would she have a chance in that constituency?

What's with the pattern of FDP support in Schleswig-Holstein?

What's with the pattern of FDP support in Schleswig-Holstein?

Presumably some of it is a Hamburg suburbia thing.

It extends quite far, if that's the case.
