🇩🇪 German state & local elections

[RedPrometheus]

At some point sooner or later, SPD will fall below the 5% threshold in some regional election

Let's hope so. Maybe then they will get the message that being in bed with the CDU while offering Green positions with a slightly more working class rhetoric is not a winning message for the party.

I have on very good authority that if the SPD loses the Bremen state election in May there will be some kind of reckoning with Nahles being out the door. But it still won't be a sufficient reckoning imo.

Bremen is apparently close between CDU and SPD.

I think this is the first time since the foundation of the Federal Republic (And maybe even earlier) that the Bremen state election is exciting.

True

It might take a while tonight before we know what will happen in Bremen. Apparently it is really close.

The opinion polls seem to have been quite accurate.
