2013 Elections in Germany

[minionofmidas]

CDU hold Chemnitz

Oh! An Eastern result!

Turnout 67.5 (+1.3)*, CDU 39.0 (+8.4), Left 23.0 (-5.6), SPD 17.5 (+0.4), AfD 6.0, Greens 5.3 (-1.7), FDP 2.9 (-9.9), Pirates 2.5', NPD 2.3 (-0.4)


*yeah, these phantom turnout increases have been the best laugh of the day.
'Saxony was the one state the Pirates did not run in in 2009.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

CDU hold Siegen-Wittgenstein, SPD hold Bottrop-Recklinghausen III

[minionofmidas]

And an SPD hold that wasn't a given - Kaiserslautern, 38.5 to 37.2. CDU ahead on the list vote.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

CDU hold Chemnitz

Turnout 67.5 (+1.3)*, CDU 39.0 (+8.4), Left 23.0 (-5.6), SPD 17.5 (+0.4), AfD 6.0, Greens 5.3 (-1.7), FDP 2.9 (-9.9), Pirates 2.5', NPD 2.3 (-0.4)


*yeah, these phantom turnout increases have been the best laugh of the day.
'Saxony was the one state the Pirates did not run in in 2009.

And another one: CDU hold Sonneberg - Saalfeld-Rudolstadt - Saale-Orla-Kreis

A constituency name that positively rolls off the tongue.

[minionofmidas]

Wesel I, a supernarrow CDU gain of 2009, held by about four points.

[minionofmidas]

Two rural Thuringian seats now in. Both show slight losses for the SPD.

[Vosem]

(sun sets in East, rises in West, etc)

Are you sure about that?

[minionofmidas]

(sun sets in East, rises in West, etc)

Are you sure about that?

In East Frisia it does.

[minionofmidas]

AfD well below five in Bavaria, NRW, Lower Saxony. Doing best in the East, obviously, also better in BaWü, Hesse and RhP - the former FDP heartland.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

(sun sets in East, rises in West, etc)

Are you sure about that?

In East Frisia it does.

Quite so. I'm from Shropshire and understand these things.

They already have suns in Shropshire? News to me.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

At Harvest time, we do.

[minionofmidas]

Sigmar Gabriel retains his direct seat of Salzgitter-Wolfenbüttel.

[Franknburger]

New ARD projection (50 constituencies in)

CDU    41.7
SPD    25.6
Linke    8.6
Grüne   8.4
FDP      4.7
AfD      4.8

CDU/CSU now 5 seats short of majority.

As in all recent elections, initial projections again tended to underestimate smaller parties (note the gradual increase of the Greens, and the CDU/CSU decline). I don't think we will see a CDU/CSU seat majority, but the FDP coming in again is not yet completely off.

AfD apparently performing much better in the East (>6%) than in the West, but also got 6% in blue-collar Hamburg-Harburg-Bergedorf.

SPD gain Oldenburg-Ammerland

[jaichind]

ZDF

CDU/CSU 42.1
SPD+Green+Linke 42.5

now CDU/CSU behind 302 seats vs 304 seats

FDP 4.6
AfD  4.9

Interesting AfD at 4.9 all night.

[minionofmidas]

Two Hessian districts (not constituencies) now fully in for Bundestag.

Hersfeld-Rotenburg turnout 72.7 (-0.7) CDU 37.5 (+5.9), SPD 36.4 (+2.3), Greens 6.3 (-1.1), AfD 5.5, Left 5.4 (-3.5), FDP 3.9 (-9.5). Yes, that's a CDU "gain".
Waldeck-Frankenberg turnout 71.0 (-0.2) CDU 40.5 (+7.3) SPD 31.8 (+2.7), Greens 7.8 (-1.5), FDP 5.9 (-10.6) Left 5.1 (-2.9) AfD 4.9

[minionofmidas]

SPD gain Oldenburg-Ammerland

CDU    36,8    +1,2     35,2    +7,1
SPD    37,4    +6,1    32,6    +5,5

Direct on left, list on right. Hilarious.

[Vosem]

(sun sets in East, rises in West, etc)

Are you sure about that?

In East Frisia it does.

Ah, of course.

[Hifly]

CDU gain Hanover-Land I

[minionofmidas]

CDU gain one of the Hanover Suburban seats, but more importantly all the Saarland comes in all at one time. So, a state result.

Turnout 72.5 (-1.3)
CDU 37.8 (+7.1), SPD 31.0 (+6.3), Left 10.0 (-11.2), Greens 5.7 (-1.1), AfD 5.2, FDP 3.8 (-8.0). Wow.
CDU holds all four direct seats (Saarbrücken by less than a percentage point).

So, under the new electoral law, the phantom distribution of the state's seven notional seats is CDU 3, SPD 3, Left 1. So we already have our first overhang seat.

[minionofmidas]

Left loses one of its random rural seats, to the CDU of course. Suhl - Schmalkalden-Meiningen - Hildburghausen.

[minionofmidas]

Also, SPD hold Werra-Meißner-Hersfeld (half of which I'd already introduced as a CDU 'gain').

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

Left loses one of its random rural seats, to the CDU of course. Suhl - Schmalkalden-Meiningen - Hildburghausen.

Altmark, too.

[minionofmidas]

CDU gains "Waldeck" (-Hofgeismar-Wolfhagen) by 0.2 points. Urgh.
