2009 State and Federal elections in Germany

A question about the postal precincts; when you say "where different from Stadtteile" are the Stadtteile lumped together for results purposes seperate postal precincts or are they still lumped together?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Ah, right. So which of the postal precincts is the Stadtteil wi' the airport lumped in with?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

A little confused about the Unterliederbach divisions; did you get east and west mixed up at one point, or am I missing something [qm]

Sadly, no.

The district is contiguous, but you will have to use a motorway in the wrong direction if you want to get from the one part to the other without leaving it.

Oh.

Right.

Urgh.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

So this is where I am (sort of) on Unterliederbach...



Just to make things clear; which bits go where [qm]

[Filuwaúrdjan]

A little confused by 390; what are the western and eastern borders [qm]

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Sort of like this then [qm]

[Filuwaúrdjan]

This will perfectly do, of course, but the border's a little messed-up in the center.

Which way should I nudge it?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Testing for errors, to an extent. Turnout map next. Will probably do two seats of party maps; left and right.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Looks oddly like an older, sans glasses, version of my Dad.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Some of the patterns there are... to use a word used earlier... stark...

[Filuwaúrdjan]

What's behind the really stark division in Unterliederbach though [qm]. Oh, and is the very high turnout area in the Ostend a yuppy colony or something [qm]

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Nope. Got some pretty old money overlooking the Ostpark there. The area, or rather much of it (and a couple of streets east of it, too. This is country I know quite well, having grown up on the road that divides 282 and 252... though near the western end of that line) is not all that unlike the Holzhausenviertel or the posh bits of the Dornbusch. Except much smaller in area. Should definitely be viewed as a survival, though, rather than a yuppie colony - all over the southern halves of 251 (except the zoo itself, of course) and 252 must have been posh country before the war destroyed much of it.

Oooh; hadn't thought of that.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Keys are the same as for the Frankfurt party maps posted earlier, with one exception; I've added an extra shade for the FDP (28%) and also lowered the 27% shade to 25% in order to make some patterns clearer.

Bigger version in gallery. Work has also just started on the Left maps (up tomorrow, hopefully).

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Keys are also the same as on the earlier maps (slightly; SPD 12 extended lower a bit because of one part of Westend).

A bigger version can be found in the Gallery.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Now that they're up I feel free to point out the error in the Dornbusch E division that I only noticed when the turnout thing came up. It's my fault, anyhow.

Meh. Oh well.

I might try a left v right map later.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Interesting: Western Berlin voted Yes with about 65%, Eastern Berlin No with about 70%+

lol

[Filuwaúrdjan]

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Or you could do three seperate posts

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Fuck you.

(You know I love you. )

[Filuwaúrdjan]

The age difference between the models on the SPD and CDU posters is mildly amusing.

(scusi if someone's mentioned it before but) the CDU posters are of the "leaders are always right" type. These are their members of the cabinet.

lol

btw, German election posters always seem weirdly shiny (if that's the right word to use).

[Filuwaúrdjan]

(N-TV has a hot anchor today)

NOOOOOOO ! They switched the hot anchor with an old male ! *grrrr*

I suppose that means that the results are likely to be interesting...

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Which sites have results on them?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Diolch, diolch.
