German Election Results Thread

Final results for the 2 state elections:

Schleswig-Holstein:

CDU: 31.5% (-8.6%, 34 seats)
SPD: 25.4% (-13.2%, 25 seats)
FDP: 14.9% (+8.3%, 15 seats)
Greens: 12.4% (+6.2%, 12 seats)
Left: 6.0% (+5.2%, 5 seats)
SSW: 4.3% (+0.7%, 4 seats)
Pirates: 1.8% (+1.8%)
FW: 1.0% (+1.0%)
Others: 2.7%

CDU/FDP: 46.4% (49 seats)
SPD/Greens/Left/SSW: 48.1% (46 seats)

Best result for SSV since the 50'ties - and a return of the Meyer family to the Landestag. The SSV president Flemming Meyer, the son of Karl Otto Meyer, who held SSV's sole mandate from the 70'ties until '96, is elected - That said, what a s... electoral system S-H uses. A 3 mandates majority with 1,7 %-points less.

Anybody like to make a map of SSV's 1th and 2nd votes? That would be great

If you cut out where they did well, what you're left with is West Germany ca. 1949. The Saar interests me. Is it Lafontaine?

Yes!
