Although this thread does not function under the same strict guidelines as the USPMT, it is still a general practice on TL to provide a source with an explanation on why it is relevant and what purpose it adds to the discussion. Failure to do so will result in a mod action.

Well, if the SPD make good on their promise that they will not enter any coalition to form a government, the only option left is "Jamaika" (CDU+Greens+FDP). Given the differences - especially between the FDP/CSU and the Greens - it is not terribly unlikely that reelections are going to be held.

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!

Damn AfD. I hope they completely disintegrate in the same way the NPD did whenever they managed to get into any state parliament.

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.

how fast does this usually go? chances reelections will be together with the Landtagswahlen in Nds?

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.

Every politician talking about the AfD being the biggest problem. Prepare for 20-25% after the next (regular) election. 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.

I thought it was interesting that 60% of AFD voters only voted them because they are disappointed with the mainstream parties. Maybe SPD going into opposition will change that

Looks like quite a defeat for the reigning old parties, also no CDU/FDP possible which is quite a relief.

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).

Can still happen, only projections at this time . Final results will be available in the morning hours.

I guess that's progress. But unfortunately not enough to matter. Bummer.

The base was sick of it and it would have been suicide. This is a good decision. 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.

especially if you follow the idea that there not being any real opposition was part of the rise of the AfD. In that case SPD going into opposition might actually be good for us. If we get another 4 years or CDU+SPD we'll have AfD 20+ % nationwide soon imo.

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.

Looks like CDU+FDP+Greens would be the most viable coalition. Sounds like a disaster.

In fact, it is the only one available now. 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.

idk about disaster. It might turn into one and maybe I'm just not smart enough to see it already, after all people said Greens + FDP has been a disaster on the state level but this election result is basicly exactly what I wanted. Perhaps minus the AfD getting this much. Either way I'm quite okay with this assuming it doesn't result in reelections.
