Turnout estimated at 72.5. With the exact kind of SPD result to go with it.

SlH
CDU 31 - SPD 25.5 - FDP 15.5 - Greens 12 - Left 6.5 - SSW 4 - other 5.5

If this is the result, this thing will go to the courts... I'll explain later. Turnout 74.5

Brandenburg
SPD 31.5 - Left 27.5 - CDU 21.5 - FDP 8 - Greens 5.5 - DVU 1 (lol!) - other 5. Turnout 67

According to the ZDF they have a 1-aseat majority due to some strange law.

Maybe that's what Lewis meant ...

ZDF exit poll:

CDU 33.5
FDP 14.5

SPD 23.5
Left 13.0
Green 10.0


CDU/FDP = 48.0
SPD/Green/Left = 46.5

stable majority!

Schleswig-Holstein has relatively many direct seats, well over half the Parliament. So very many overhang mandates. Expected to go to the CDU, of course.
And a paragraph in the state law that can be read as limiting the equalization mandates to twice as many as the overhang mandates (ie, basically no limit) or limiting them to the same number as overhang mandates (as also in Saxony) - which on these figures would be enough to throw this thing.
The same wording is used in local elections (Schleswig-Holstein has direct seats there too) and is actually getting interpreted differently in different communes. With courts having upheld both interpretations.

Probably the old EU=Europe, not EU=not Europe.

Ok, stupid question from the US, did the Pirates run as a left leaning party? If so, than combined with Greens, Linke and SPD that would be really close to CDU/FDP vote total. Once again the threshold law rears it head.

[minionofmidas]

Certainly (I've thought of it too). But then we next need to ask us how many votes the Nazis got (just singling them out because they're probably the next largest party behind the Pirates).

doesn't matter, they don't get any seats without 5% of the vote.

Swedish PP sits in G-EFA, so, yeah, they're obviously more left though they don't, afaik, claim to be so directly.
