German General Elections

[karohemd]

The preliminary results are in and it looks like it's going to be a christian union/liberal coalition with the social democrats getting their worst result in history (around 23%). The Pirate Party haven't made the 5% hurdle but 2% (the biggest percentage for single party under 5%) is a very impressive result for a party that has existed for only three years and was on the register for the general elections for the first time.

Hm, I think that's a bit early to tell. I guess all they need is a big screwup by the new govt. and people will be flocking back. All my info (and not much of it) is second hand, though, so it's a bit hard to tell.
