Probably a silly question, but I'm assuming that Die Linke has some safe direct seats in the former GDR, so do they really need 5%?

They fell below the threshold and won only 2 FPTP seats (both in East Berlin, I believe) in 2002, so it does matter.

Could perhaps be a problem for the Left, actually.

After all, both the NPD and the Left compete for the anti-establishment/anti-mainstream protest vote in the eastern states.

Given the polling, it hardly looks like the Left is in any position to retain its FPTP seats outside of East Berlin anyway, no?
