Current state of the German parliamentary election. It is not yet clear, if BSW and FDP will break the 5% hurdle. AfD makes history, by doubling their previous election record. Friedrich Merz, from the CDU, is set to build a coalition, probably with the SPD and a third party (FDP or Greens). https://i.nostr.build/0i2IJRiqJQ9Pxk6u.png #Germany #Bundestagswahl

Germany is clearly a conservative-leaning country. We now all wait to see, if they will receive a governing coalition whose agenda reflects this preference. It is very possible, that the SPD will shift-right, and recenter themselves around politicians like Boris Pistorius, to fit into a right-leaning governing coalition.

Yes, there is a 5% hurdle, to even get a single seat and enter the parliament. The alternative path, is to get 3 directly-elected candidates, but that's also a high hurdle.

This morning's result: FDP and BSW didn't make it in. https://i.nostr.build/fCvvyDVQQwZA18xQ.png That gives parliament the resulting seats: https://i.nostr.build/y13pX6TRn6d1MgM0.png And we will probably end up with a Grand Coalition of Union/Social-Democrats.
