SPD pre-Agenda 2010.  Die Linke.PDS/Green swing voter in 2005 till 2009.  Would probably be swinging between the Greens, Linke, and SPD if I were in the West, and between the Greens and SPD if I were in the East, today.  If the SPD went back to the left and ditched Agenda 2010 and aplologized for it, I might go back to being a loyal SPD voter. 

If the SPD kicked out most of the Seeheimer Kreis/Netwerk Berlin/right wing neoliberal hacks (Steinbruck and Steinmeier especially), and if those in die Linke who came from the WASG/formerly SPD faction rejoined the party, then you'd have a party I could see myself voting for quite happily, were I German.

By election:
1912: SPD
1919: SPD
1920: Independent SPD due to the government's handling of the Sparticist Uprising
1928: SPD
1930: Independent SPD again due to Muller's request for emergency powers
July 1932: SPD
November 1932: SPD
March 1933: SPD
1949: SPD
1953: SPD
1957: SPD
1961: SPD
1965: SPD
1969: SPD
1972: SPD
1976: SPD
1980: SPD
1983: Greens
1987: Greens
1990: SPD again with Lafontaine
1994: SPD
1998: SPD
2002: Greens, since I'd be ticked off by Schroder's Third Way policies, and even though the Greens were in his government, the only left-wing alternative would be the PDS, which I could never vote for so long as Stasi scum like Bisky and politically opportunistic hypocrites like Gysi were in major positions in the party.
2005: Eesh.  If I lived in a district with a WASG candidate (as opposed to a PDS one), then I'd vote WASG.  If it were a PDS candidate, then the Greens.  For party lists, the Greens, even though I'd be furious with them.  
2009: Greensagain, fully, and with much more enthusiasm (being incredibly unimpressed by Steinmeier and ticked off at his defense of Agenda 2010.)
Next election: Depends on the SPD's chancellor-candidate.  If it's Kraft, then the SPD.  If it's Steinbruck or Steinmeier, then Greens.  Maybe the Left, since it seems that a new generation is taking over.  Sorry, don't like the Pirates.
