Arriving first with 32% in Germany: may fail to govern in the end, new elections may be needed Arriving first with 32% in France: full powers for 5 years Interesting! | ||

Also, coalition negotiations will be interesting. If Jamaica doesn't work, and SPD does not agree to great coalition, they will be utterly wrecked in the reelection. Probably 15+% for AfD should that happen. | ||

Since the elections in Niedersachsen are held on October 15, the reelections will be much later. The deliberations could take months and setting up the reelections (logistically) also takes time. (For reference, the last coalition in 2013 was finalized in December.) The next weeks and months will be interesting for sure. | ||

Edit: Oh, I take that back for the SPD. Martin Schulz seems to have understood something, being extremely open about the CDU being the main opponent. Let's just hope they really take the opposition role and try to become a better alternative to the CDU. | ||

You can't get strategically more retarded than a centralist politician. Edit: Oh, I take that back for the SPD. Martin Schulz seems to have understood something, being extremely open about the CDU being the main opponent. Let's just hope they really take the opposition role and try to become a better alternative to the CDU. Apparently the AfD already has 20-25% of the votes if one looks only at former East Germany. (Also, the polling guy for the ARD just said that, excluding the West, in the East CDU+SPD wouldn't be a majority).

Final results will be available in the morning hours. | ||

Not happy that we got wrecked again but at least only as much as was expected. The CDU took a large hit. Greens doing fairly well. The worst thing is the East German vote. 21% for the Afd among East Germans making them the second strongest party by far. What a pile of crap. | ||

On another note: People have mentioned it in here but I don't know about reelections (and I haven't ready everything yet, just got home) but I just don't see that happening. The Greens and FDP might hate each others guts but the leaders of their parties are supposedly quite good friends so maybe Jamaica does happen after all? Reelection would just be the biggest mess ever and I don't see it making anything better so I would hope Greens and FDP get their shit together and form a coalition with CDU because the alternative is so much worse, for them as well. | ||

The SPD leadership has doubled down on their claim that they will not form a government and Martin Schulz has said they will not work with the CDU anymore. | ||
