German Federal Election - Sept. 24 - Results Thread

[America Needs R'hllor]

FDP! FDP! FDP!

Yas! A global flawless & beautiful resurgence
Disappointed by the strong AfD showing, but it's not THAT strong, the Israeli media is exaggarenting it as "a massive successs for the far right". As always. Now I'm just hoping the Greens really did outperform Linke!

[Oryxslayer]

Result is relatively similar to the polling aggregate from a year ago (aside from the FDP):

except you know... the FDP.

This Bundestag election will be the first, since the end of Nazi era in 1945, in which a far-right party enters the German parliament (AfD) - a trend we are seeing in many places in Europe.

Wrong: far-right parties won seats in the first three Bundestag elections.

I just checked the 1949, 1953 and 1957 German election results and was unable to discern same. Care to name 'em?

[Tender Branson]

If the ZDF projection is like the final result, I'd be very happy with my prediction. Except for the CDU/CSU and Green shares.

The German Party was pretty right-wing and the FDP had some nationalist leanings back then. I guess you could describe them as far-right given the things that happened in Germany a couple of years earlier.

The SPD still is 3.5 times as big as our social democratic party, it can always be worse

On the other hand the SPD is roughly tied with our social democratic party, and I though that ours was already close to dying.

Also, surprisingly the German results aren't that far off from our 2016 results. Except for the fact that we don't have a far right here.

The DP (German Party) was a right-wing nationalist party, the Bloc of Expellees was as well, and in 1949 the two other very right wing parties (the German Right Party and the Economic Reconstruction Union) also won seats. There were also right-wing elements in the early FDP.

According to the ARD, the AfD is at 22% in East Germany.

The SPD will be fine now they have a chance to actually re-orientate themselves, though should be kicking themselves for staying in the coalition throughout the year.

East Germany forecast:

[TheSaint250]

Schulz seems to have been extremely influential in rejecting another grand coalition.

[Oryxslayer]

Schultz announces no more grand coalition - Tells Merkel to form Jamaica. Also says to fight for Saxony. (AKA no talks until Oct. 15)

[Mike88]

It seems CDU is increasing slightly in the new projection while AFD is slightly decreasing. Hope this trend continues.

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

East Germany forecast:

Do you think the AfD could have received a plurality in Saxony (and maybe in a second Land)?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Also says to fight for Saxony. (AKA no talks until Oct. 15)

Lower Saxony

Same. Also, I guess Jamaica will hurt Greens in the next election, no? Why would they want it?

The SPD is so weak in Saxony that I believe the CDU is still ahead. I have fears for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern though...

They've been in opposition for more than a decade.

Ooops, my mistake.

Yikes! RIP East German SPD (1990-2017)
