🇩🇪 German elections (federal & EU level)

[Libertas Vel Mors]

CDU hold my constituency of Stuttgart II, which I did not expect. Despite a dismal showing in the Second Vote. Sad because both the SPD and Green candidates were great, just the left doesn't seem to be as good at voting tactically as the right is. Especially noticeable in Bavaria, where CSU are going to win 45/46 seats including all but one in Munich, which I don't think anyone saw coming.

Does it matter what constituency results are under MMP?

It is very relevant to the size of the legislature, under the German version of MMP anyway.

EuropeElects seat estimate. R2G short by 12, but Union definitely in second. Also probably the 1 from SSW, but we have no official data on S-H yet to judge.

There will be way more than 676 total seats considering how CSU is doing in Bavaria on constituencies relative to their 2nd vote share.

Collective constituency numbers, anyway. Results within the individual constituencies don't have any effect, though.

Back home from our party now, and it feels awesome to be a member of the strongest political force in Germany.

Everything depends now on FDP and Greens, and I predict it won't be that easy since both of thrm have difference preferences between SPD and CDU. Interestingly, I spoke with a bunch of Greens since they had their election night party in the same restaurant, and all of them wanted to enter a trafficlight coalition and not Jamaica.

Enjoy your Kraftriegel!

[brucejoel99]

Looks like there is no possible coalition without FDP or CDU/CSU

Yeah, but going off of that wording, there's also no possible coalition without the Greens or the SPD.

Congratulations to Social Democrat Anna Kassautzki, who doesn't have her own Wikipedia lemma, on conquering Merkel's constituency Vorpommern-Rügen – Vorpommern-Greifswald I. 👏🏻🙌🏻🤝🏻

Enjoy Euphoria.

Yes, the coalition talks might get complicated here. I think we can throw R2G in the trash, and GroKo v2.0 doesn't seem desirable for either of the big two. Meanwhile the exits showed Greens liked Stoplight but hated Jamaica, and vice versa for the the FDP. So when Lindner says the Greens and FDP should go into negotiations first, I kinda agree with him. Let the kingmakers decide their priorities and then dictate them to their two partners.

Habeck won his district❗ Flensburg-Schleswig (No.1)❕ 😀😀😀

While ACAB miserably failed to win hers. 😁😁😁

I said. I said it. I said it. I said "watch out for district No.1!" But nobody wanted to believe me. 😝

I was so right and I was the only one to be right with districts Nos. 1 and 15. I feel so happy now! 😅

Yes, this is a real noble running as a MLPD candidate. She won 413 votes in Gotha-Ilm Kreis.

Not exactly. They showed the FDP vote to be leery of (sod it) 'Lithuania', but the 'Green' vote to loathe Jamaica.

Jamaica sounds like a great way for the Green vote to be halved in the next election.

That's bittersweet. Mutti looked very shocked and sad when standing next to Laschet during his address after polls closed.

Tbf, she was never that conservative. I can see why her voters like the SPD better now than the CDU.

Most left wing region of France?

Yes, this is a real noble running as a MLPD candidate. She won 413 votes in Gotha-Ilm Kreis.

Even the SPD is ahead of CDU now in Saxony. That's a shocker.

[Boobs]

Does  the SPD sweep of Saarland means that AKK will be headed to Berlin on a list mandate?
