2012 Elections in Germany

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Hahahaha

[minionofmidas]

I just read "Röttgen resigns" somewhere and thought he'd resigned from the federal cabinet. But no, he just resigned as state CDU chair.

[Tender Branson]

Just came back from a visit.

So, the 2 Red-Green Schuldenmuttis got re-elected in a landslide ?

FUCK YEAH !

[Franzl]

Wasn't aware you were that interested in NRW, Tender..,

Sure, where else would you find Red-Green coalitions in states with 18 Million people ?

[Tender Branson]

BTW, what's up with that Currywurst poster from the SPD ? Is that a real campaign poster or a joke poster ?

It looks like Germans aren't too thrilled with austerity either.

How is the Pro-NRW doing?

[minionofmidas]

First constituency result in - Olpe. Rural, Catholic Sauerland.

turnout 60.0 (-0.4)
CDU 43.1 (-8.0)
SPD 30.9 (+5.3)
FDP 7.7 (+0.9)
Greens 6.7 (-0.7)
Pirates 6.6 (+5.6)
Left 1.6 (-2.2)
pro NRW are strongest "other" at 1.0 (-0.2). Needless to say CDU held the direct seat.

[Tender Branson]

How is the Pro-NRW doing?

Negligible.

At a street fight recently they only managed to get 15 of their people to beat up 800 Salafists.

[minionofmidas]

Soest II (ie Lippstadt)

turnout 58.3 (+0.7)
SPD 39.1 (+5.9)
CDU 30.5 (-7.7)
FDP 8.9 (+0.2)
Greens 8.7 (-1.1)
Pirates 7.3 (+5.9)
Left 2.2 (-2.7)

SPD gain direct seat.

Interesting place. Smallish town with slight traces of a boboish studenty vibe, surrounded by Catholic countryside. The western half of Soest district has a few ancestrally protestant corners, and parts of its countryside are uglily suburbanifying (but Soest itself is also a nice, if touristy in a lowkey way, town).

[minionofmidas]

The stabber (who has confessed. And is a Hessian. ) fits the cliche bill of such people quite well. German born Turkish citizen; a hardened hooligan with an arm's length criminal record from his teens who's been out of trouble the past five years thanks to finding Allah. Yet the conversion only goes so far; these people have a grievance and an aggressive demeanor (and are very much a post-2001 phenomenon. Or rather post-post-2001-islamophobia phenomenon.)

In both the constituencies wholly in, pro NRW and NPD are the two strongest "others", but not by much and not doing at all well or any better than last time. They are not doing well enough to get any sort of mainstream media attention, so official results are all I have.
