In related news they were rumours about secret talks (well, not that secret I suppose) between SPD and FDP about ousting Merkel and installing a SPD/FDP/Green coalition.

SPD and CDU aren't getting very well along at the moment... mostly because health care reform is currently the dominant topic and both parties have fundamentally different ideas about it.

Please tell me that the NPD does not represent 72% of the "other parties" total. If they do they would get in the Bundestag.

15% for the FDP? Very nice.

I doubt it though that has been my constant fear that the Grand Coalition will lead to higher support for both Die Linke and the much scarier NDP.

Fortunately, the NPD isn't the only "other party" in Germany. However, provided the share of the "other parties" stays that high, it would seem reasonable that they start to explain what "other parties" exactly stands for.

The three far-right parties (NPD, DVU & REP) will indeed make up a considerable portion of that 7%. Maybe 2 or 3% for NPD, 1 or 2% for DVU and 0.5 to 1% for REP.

In the recent Berlin election, the Grey Panthers, a senior citizen's party, managed to achieve a surprisingly good result of 3.8%. Maybe they also make up a good portion of that 7% on federal level now. Who knows...

Forsa (Jan. 10, 2007):

CDU/CSU 35%
SPD 26%
FDP 13%
Greens 10%
Left.PDS 10%
Other parties 6%

Other polls have the SPD at 30-32% right now. CDU/CSU at 34-36%.

The good thing is the CSU is at 45% right now in Bavaria when it comes to the 2008 state elections. A loss of 16% compared with the last elections in 2003.

I´m looking forward to that. Muhahaha
