Was this election good or bad for the left?
PS had 47.7% of the seats and now it has 51.7%. But the combined left had 61.5% and now it has 56.6%. PS gained 9 seats. BE lost 14. CDU lost 6.
Given the PS is being rewarded for austerity and corrupt machine politics, absolutely not, and the free reign they have now isn’t good. Generally being in opposition is usually better than a confidence and supply arrangement electorally, but the future looks very bleak with BE’s vote being more prone to cannibalization and CDU’s electorate risking to cease to be by naturally dying off or tuning out.
How s••• polling could get marginal support to bleed so much from both organizations is a disgrace and shows how terribly disconnected they are from the general populace. They clearly don’t have a lock on to their electorates at all.
