im curious if this trend will continue next week when the much bigger and more important state of nordrhein-westfalen is voting for a new parliament.
The picture on the thumbnail… did they take it right after Scholz found out? He looks very sad 😔😔 I hope he will sleep well tonight
Neither this nor the absolute majority recently won in the Saarland are indicative of federal trends, and state politics seldom are. Federal politics are pretty much where they were at the last federal election, minus the fact that Merz is somehow less unpopular than Laschet, and plus a few percent for the greens.

I happy as long as the fascists get thrown out. It’s a small state but it’s a sign and a statement.
The good thing is AFD is slowly disappearing.
No they didn’t, as in don’t imply that the result has anything to do with federal politics. SH’s SPD lost, not the federal SPD. SH’s CDU won, *certainly* not the federal one.
Fact of the matter is that Daniel Günther is a solid lad, even if he’s a conservative, noone interested in increasing social equity actually believes the SPD would deliver and our CDU isn’t actively dismantling it while at the same time there’s the Greens and the SSW as SPD alternatives.
[Last Europe elections](https://www.bundeswahlleiter.de/europawahlen/2019/ergebnisse/bund-99/land-1.html), always a nice indicator for what people think because there’s practically no circumstantial and tactical voting going on, the Greens won with 29.1%, followed by the CDU with 26.2% and SPD with 17.1%. Fundamentally nothing changed, it just so happens that we have a popular incumbent CDU PM.
>The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is projected to win only 4.9 percent, meaning it risks missing the 5 percent hurdle required for entry into parliament
Music to my ears.
Another German election won by the Danes
Can anyone tell me why the CDU guy is so popular? I am German myself but I have never heard of him before the media started telling me that he is the most popular Ministerpräsident of all times or something. I am not trying to be a dick or anything I genuinely want to know why exactly he is popular enough to get such an impressive victory.
