Following the leadership election, the Left has now dropped to 4% (below the 5% barrier for parliamentary representation):
34% CDU/CSU
32% SPD
14% Greens
7% Pirates
5% FDP
4% Left
4% Others
SPD-Greens (46%) is now tied with CDU-CSU-Pirates-FDP (46%).
Is that a possible coalition? I'd think the Pirates would be much more at home with the SDP-Green crowd.
Such a coalition is not possible. But it shows that SPD and Greens are very close to a majority on their own.
Is this national? Also I kind of suspect the parties on the right will do better than the polls say. After all in Denmark and France most polls had the left with a much bigger lead than what they got. It was only once the election got under way the numbers closed in.
