German Elections & Politics

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

Nope, living in Schwerin, Wahlkreis 12. It's a save CDU win here. Probably gonna give that vote to the MLPD candidate, just for the lols.

I wonder how many people living in that district even know that The Kançler is a direct candidate.
Next week, the heute show is returning from the summer break, maybe he Welke will "mention" in his show that his colleague Somuncu is running...

Germans don't go for joke candidates or parties...ever. You guys ought to know this.

False, the FDP is polling above the threshold.

DIE PARTEI has a seat in the European Parliament, where Jörg Sonneborn actually does good work.

And btw, we are talking about district 84, where most citizens don't consider themselves German...

The favorability of a black-yellow coalition has risen by 7 percentage points since April.
The possibility of black-green has been become less popular by 5 percentage points since then.

[Beezer]

Both Merkel and Schulz are increasingly unpopular:

[Beezer]

I love pollsters. First headline: "Immigration not a particularly important topic for voters." Second one: "Next government's primary concern should be immigration" (say voters)

My opposition to brown-coal mining probably pushed down my SPD score, as the miners have long been an important SPD constituency, and upped my various green parties scores.

According to this I am also a literal communist, as I scored in the 70s for the DKP and MLPD.

If you enter Merkel's positions into the Wahlomat, the results actually recommend to vote for Schulz and the SPD.

Reminds me of this 2013 caricature:

[Middle-aged Europe]

Well, as the story goes, the SPD was in fact one of the parties Merkel considered joining back in 1989. She allegedly decided against it because they called each other "comrade" there and this reminded her a bit too much of the SED. So, she ended up with the "Democratic Awakening" party which eventually was swallowed up by the East German CDU which in turn was then swallowed up by the West German CDU.

Standard

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

The current speaker of the Bundestag, Norbert Lammert, is not running for a Bundestag seat again.
Does anybody want to guess who will become his successor?

Maybe Thomas de Maizière? Joachim Herrmann will certainly take his place as interior minister.
Uschi? She won't be the defense minister any longer after annoying half of the Bundeswehr staff.
The asexual jabba? But who could fulfill (höhö) his role as Merkel's best friend and secretary?
Or maybe a CSU member? However, CSU caucus whip Gerda Hasselfeldt won't run again for a seat.
