2011 State Elections in Germany

[Sibboleth]

SPD gain Lichtenberg 1. lol.

Huh, why is the Left leading in Mitte 3 all of the sudden? Doesn't make any sense. Is it possible that someone mistakingly entered the data for Mitte 2 into Mitte 3?

Or they SPD and Left confused?

No, pretty sure it's teh former. It's also in the tables, and the SPD is only just behind though in third place.

[Old Europe]

The Left wouldn't win 26.5% in Mitte 3 either (which is the current result for SPD there). It's a West Berlin district where the Left had 5% last time.

[Vasall des Midas]

It seems the CDU "wins" West Berlin.

It seems the CDU "wins" West Berlin.

So there is a downside to FDP collapse.

[Sibboleth]

Anyways, Mitte 2 and Mitte 3 are all declared and sorted out now.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Any word on if we are looking at Red-Green or Red-Black?

[I left.]

Any word on if we are looking at Red-Green or Red-Black?

No official word, of course. The SPD has basically said they think the Greens have more policies in common with them. I've heard one or two sceptical voices about only having a one seat majority.....but I tend to think it'll be red-green.

Wowereit isn't going to govern with the CDU.

[Sibboleth]

[You kip if you want to...]

Dumb-dumb question.

"Direct seats" = First past the post seats, right?

[Sibboleth]

Yep

So the direct seats went...

SPD 34 (-5)
CDU 23 (+6)
Greens 11 (+5)
Left 7 (-6)

SPD ---> CDU: Steglitz-Zehlendorf 1 and 2, Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf 5 and 7, Reinickendorf 1, Spandau 4
SPD ---> Greens: Mitte 1, Tempelhof-Schöneberg 1, Neukölln 1 and 2, Kreuzberg-Friedrichshain 5

Grüne 17.6
Linke 11.7

NPD 2.1
FDP 1.8
Tierschutzpartei 1.5
Die PARTEI 0.9

And a couple of parties with even less.....not worth listing.

[Tender Branson]

Why exactly is the Left so strong in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg 4 and in Mitte 2 ?

And the Greens so weak ? All the surrounding districts were won by the Greens ...

Mitte 2 is the part of Mitte which belonged to East Berlin. The other destricts are located in West Berlin. In fact, as a a former core district of East Berlin it still contains a lot of retired SED officials from before 1990. I suppose the same could be said about Frieke 4?

Yeah. Stalinallee and such. Though most of Mitte 1 is in East Berlin, of course.

Turnout was 60.2%

West
turnout 61.9
CDU 29.5, SPD 28.0, Greens 20.4, Pirates 8.1, Left 4.3, FDP 2.3
East
turnout 57.8
SPD 28.8, Left 22.6, CDU 14.2, Greens 13.5, Pirates 10.1, FDP 1.2

CDU actually gained more in the east (+2. than the west. Left gained 0.1 in the west. Though the SPD lost in both parts of the city, they lost more in the west (thanks to the Left-to-SPD swing) and thus are now stronger in the East.

[Vasall des Midas]

Some of Berlin's new Pirate MdA's.

They even have a woman. Emphasis on "a", as in singular.

More like a girl.



She's 19.

[Tender Branson]

When we look at the Exit Polls, I think the Linke is slowly disappearing.

In the East, only 11% of 18-30 year olds have vote for the Linke and 12% of 30-44 year olds.

On the other hand, 26% of 45-59 year olds in the East did so and 35% of those aged 60+

The more old people die in East Berlin, the more the Left will decay ...

Right. Even with its eastern parts, Mitte 1 is a less "typical" East Berlin district though (Friedrichstadtpalast instead of major Plattenbauten ).

[Vasall des Midas]

Heh. Kreuzberg-Friedrichshain borough assembly.

Greens 35.5 (+2.5)
SPD 20.8 (-4.8)
Pirates 14.3 (+14.3)
Left 12.5 (-4.0)
CDU 7.9 (-0.9)
Partei 2.8 (+1.3)
...
FDP 0.9 (-2.9)

D'Hondt and a 3% threshold giving
Greens 22
SPD 13
Pirates 8
Left 7
CDU 4

and for the five-member administration, chosen by D'Hondt from the assembly (the job distribution is decided by the assembly, though)
Greens 3, SPD 1, Pirates 1. Wheee.

[Old Europe]

The Pirates are getting a Stadtrat? God help us all!
