Fuuuuuuck
Nazis won’t be part of the government after this result. The conservatives have stated before the election that they won’t form a coalition with the far right AfD, the green party or the left party. But with this result, they have a majority with the social democrats alone.
This will be a stable, centrist, boring government, typically German. Too little progress, but no catastrophe, and no threat to EU democracy, nor to international obligations or support for Ukraine. Neither party are Putin bootlickers either.
In the opposition, the greens and the left combined have more seats than the AfD. And 84% turnout is the highest since 1987!!!
But they will still have 20% of seats, which is not insignificant. I'm glad to see the turnout!
Good even if it looks bad, it's not catastrophic yet. One can hope afd will show the voters just how unhinged they are and lose votes for the next election.
Oh okay, thank you for explaining!
