2012 Elections in Germany

[Old Europe]

For the past ten years, Wolfgang Kubicki has said in every interview that most of what the FDP federal leadership does is total bullsh**t. Hence his high credibility.

Other than saying that the federal FDP leadership is total bullsh*t, are there any differences in the state FDP and federal FDP when it comes to policy ?

Latest ZDF projection:



No change when it comes to seats.

A SPD-led coalition with the Greens and the SSW would probably be the best for the state and also what voters want, because SPD-frontrunner Albig leads the CDU-guy in the direct vote for Governor by almost 2:1 in the Exit Poll.

Wolfgang Kubicki is a complete and very competent media whore and believes whatever you believe, baby.

Contrary to initial exits, Pirates have probably beaten the FDP.

[Vasall des Midas]

SSW won Harrislee!



SSW 26.8 (+2.0)
SPD 25.6 (+3.
CDU 24.6 (-0.4)
Greens 9.4 (+1.3)
FDP 6.1 (-5.
Pirates 4.8 (+3.7)
Left 1.4 (-3.7)

(Harrislee is squeezed in between Flensburg and the Danish border, and frankly I guess the minors' results are suppressed by the SSW alternative. It's biggish by SlH standards, 8500 registered voters.)

[Vasall des Midas]

First constituency result: Neumünster.

list vote:
SPD 33.9 (+4.7)
CDU 29.2 (-1.4)
Greens 11.2 (+0.5)
Pirates 8.4 (+6.5)
FDP 7.4 (-6.6)
SSW 3.8 (+0.
Left 2.6 (-3.

direct vote: SPD gain, 39.6-38.1.

[Vasall des Midas]

East Holstein N
SPD 34.6 (+5.5)
CDU 33.0 (+0.6)
Greens 9.9 (+0.6)
Pirates 8.1 (+6.7)
FDP 7.9 (-7.8)
SSW 2.0 (+0.3)
Left 2.0 (-3.4)
Direct: SPD gain by 242 votes (0.5%).

[Vasall des Midas]

Stormarn N
CDU 31.8 (-0.5)
SPD 29.2 (+4.7)
Greens 15.2 (+1.6)

I was just going to claim that no one besides me seems to give a flying chutiya. Three more results in, two safe SPD seats in Kiel and funny ole Flensburg (another SPD gain, with 18.4% SSW in the list vote.)

Flensburg Rural CDU hold.

And: Go SSW

[Vasall des Midas]

I do care, I must admit I'm surprised over the good result in Neumünster for SSW , as it lies outside the both the Danish and Frisian minorities traditional areas. Is it a protest votes against the CDU campaign, or is there aonther reason for their good result?

Final seat count is

CDU: 22
SPD: 22
Greens: 10
FDP: 6
Pirates: 6
SSW: 3

So SPD/Greens/SSW gets to 35

[Vasall des Midas]

Fun fact: CDU won 22 direct seats, SPD 13. No overhang seats - and the CDU candidate for state pm Jost de Jager has not been elected to parliament.

And yeah, they want to try the "Danish Traffic Light".

Lol, 1st on the list and no seat in parliament

[Tender Branson]

Kurt Beck, the premier of Germany’s Rhineland-Palatinate regional state, plans to step down this month, Tagesspiegel reported, without saying where it obtained the information.

Beck, a member of the Social Democratic Party, is likely to propose Roger Lewentz, the state’s interior minister, as his successor, the newspaper said.

I'll actually miss the guy. Surprising.

Is it correctly understood that The Pirate Party is willing to support a Danish Traffic Light coalition from outside the cabinet? So that one or more silly SPD members cannot do the same trick as 2005.

[I left.]

I haven't heard anything from the Pirates except that they aren't interested in being part of any government.

I imagine, though, that they'll often be voting with the new government.
