2011 State Elections in Germany

[minionofmidas]

Heilbronn City 41% turnout, 41% yes
Heilbronn Rural 47% turnout, 37% yes
Hohenlohe 45% turnout, 36% yes
Tuttlingen 46% turnout, 32% yes
Zollernalb 48% turnout, 33% yes (so fairly good turnout in the conservative heartlands. For the no.)
Heidelberg 42% turnout, 58% yes
Mannheim 33% turnout, 57% yes (SPD base didn't vote, I guess)
Emmendingen 41% turnout, 55% yes (wonder what Freiburg will look like)

[minionofmidas]

Hall 45% turnout, 43% yes
Ostalb 50% turnout, 32% yes (voting on the not-necessarily-linked Stuttgart-to-Ulm railroad upgrade instead?)
Freiburg 45% turnout, 67% yes
Breisgau 43% turnout, 52% yes
Lörrach 38% turnout, 54% yes
Schwarzwald-Baar 41% turnout, 41% yes
Rottweil 48% turnout, 35% yes
Tübingen 59% turnout, 48% yes (wtf?)
Göppingen 54% turnout, 37% yes (and that's our first result from the Stuttgart conurbation. Though I guess at least parts of Heilbronn rural count)
Biberach 51% turnout, 25% yes (lol Oberschwaben)
Sigmaringen 48% turnout, 33% yes
Bodensee 47% turnout, 42% yes

[minionofmidas]

Statewide we're at 44% turnout and 43% yes... not much more than half the quorum.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

what are they voting on again?

[minionofmidas]

what are they voting on again?

Withdrawing, at a too-late stage, from a massive redevelopment of Stuttgart train station that most people didn't want when it was first discussed (at least not at that pricetag) but that the then city and state governments went for anyways... and of sizable bits of downtown Stuttgart as a result. It would cost the state a hefty fine to withdraw now.

Main-Tauber 41% turnout, 38% yes
Esslingen 62% turnout, 40% yes
Rems-Murr 60% turnout, 37% yes (so, okay, the suburbs want it to go right ahead. Not surprising really.)
Reutlingen 54% turnout, 37% yes
Ravensburg 46% turnout, 40% yes (that doesn't square with Biberach.)

Alb-Donau (Ulm rural) 55% turnout, 23% yes (lol)
Ulm city 52% turnout, 31% yes (lol)
Waldshut 39% turnout, 44% yes

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

So the people are anti-transportation?

[minionofmidas]

So the people are anti-transportation?

Depends what you mean by that. Deutsche Bahn management certainly gives the impression of being anti providing any form of transportation that couldn't also be provided for by airlines. Let the local lines rot. Let em buy more cars. Heck, we of management certainly don't ride on local trains. Superfast transport from Frankfurt to Berlin that doesn't stop anywhere en route is what the people in advertisement call sexy. Especially if someone else pays the bill. After all, we want to be partially privatized. We have been wanting for two decades to be partially privatized. And in preparation of that, we have been behaving as if we had been already. Somehow, that has not brought us closer to our goal, but that's certainly not our fault. And we want to be partially privatized on our own terms - certainly not in any ways that enable "competition".

But in this referendum, "yes" is "yes, let's pull out of this thing before it's too late, even though it is already too late". And "no" is winning. So I guess the people are pro-transportation in the sense that you meant it.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Ah, I thought Yes was like Yes lets stop.

[minionofmidas]

Ah, I thought Yes was like Yes lets stop.

It is.

[minionofmidas]

Karlsruhe Rural 42% turnout, 42% yes
Enz 51% turnout, 37% yes
Rastatt 36% turnout, 45% yes
Calw 53% turnout, 33% yes
Freudenstadt 48% turnout, 32% yes
Böblingen 59% turnout, 36% yes

Rhine-Neckar 39% turnout, 49% yes

Still out: Ludwigsburg, Stuttgart City, Heidenheim, Konstanz

[minionofmidas]

Heidenheim 46% turnout, 34% yes
Konstanz 44% turnout, 50% yes
Ludwigsburg 61% turnout, 38% yes
and even Stuttgart 67% turnout and... wait for it... 48% yes. Yeah. Didn't actually meet the quorum even here.

Statewide final result 48% turnout, 41% yes.

[Franzl]

Well that's a clear message, at least.

[Tender Branson]

Time to predict the S21 referendum for tomorrow:

58.3% No
41.7% Yes

Final end result:

58.8% No
41.2% Yes

Yay !

[Antonio the Sixth]

"No" meant "build the station", right ?

[Tender Branson]

[Tender Branson]

New poll for Hamburg:

44%  [-4] SPD
21%  [-1] CDU
13% [+2] Greens
  9% [+7] Pirates
  7% [+1] Left
  3%  [-4] FDP
  3%  [-1] Others

SPD would lose the absolute majority because of the Pirate rise.

[DL]

So many polls and state elections in Germany where the FDP is down at the 2 or 3% mark. Are there starting to be articles appearing in German newspapers along the lines of "End of the road for FDP - can the party survive?"

[Colbert]

Yes-vote:

hum...."yes vote" for what ? german is an hard langage

[Tender Branson]

New Berlin poll:



FDP is now included among "Sonstige" ("others") ...
