84% of people participated, that is 7,6% more than last year and the best result since 1990.
I saw another one that gave BSW 5%…
This is going to be a nail biter.
Basically exactly the polls – no surprise there (now for someone intense coalition building I guess)
Can somebody explain to me like I’m 5, how coalitions work in German elections
Give me a TLDR: who will form the government and what does that mean to the rest of Europe?
Is this good?
AfD under 20
Linke over 8 wow
AFD is high, but they have been at this level or higher in every polls in 2025. So Elon Musk’s recent efforts seem to have been useless.
Canadian here….can someone quickly explain BSW party and basic stances?
Can barely hold back the Schadenfreude at the BSW being (and hopefully staying) below 5%. Wagenknecht should just retire to her (oh so connected to the working people) estate in the Saarland and stay there.
Honestly I was dreading much worse… it’s still bad AFD became the 2nd party, but that was at the least expected.
Are exit polls usually pretty accurate in Germany?
AfD was expected to be safe over 20.
everything below 20 is a win in my book. even if it is a little one.
Musk said vote for AfD. That means don’t do it.
Luckily the Russian bootlickers stay under a third of the votes.
Just saw the picture showing that AfD was the biggest party in basically all former east German regions. Never realized the political sentiment between former West and East Germany was still that big.
I pray to GOD that BSW and FDP don’t get into the Bundestag. Just because I think it’s going to be extremely funny that:
1. The FDP don’t get into the Bundestag for causing these snap elections and for generally obstructing the current coalition
2. BSW don’t get into the Bundestag despite splitting off from Die Linke (which is pretty arrogant of them, considering that they’re 100x worse than Die Linke).
If these are the results, I’m happy with them (except for, you know, AfD).
That is not *thaaat* bad. But still…
I don’t trust Merz not to just get into the bed with the AFD
Could be worse tbh
Isn’t this good, in a way? Of course it’s shocking that 1 in 5 support neo-nazis, BUT it also shows that Musk’s sudden interference has not moved the needle despite his attempts
Here is my take on the results.
Very positive: extremely high voter turnout of 84%, the highest since German reunification. Regardless of the election result, really proud of my compatriots. This is a what a healthy democracy looks like, Mr. Vance!
Positive: Putin’s fifth column BSW and Lindner-FDP could not make the 5% threshold, AfD below 20% depending on the prognosis, even if every per cent for that party is one too many.
Negative: the risk of another three-coalition government, even if with different parties involved. Hope it won’t happen.
East Germany voted for radicals. We should see social democrats in coalition with Merz?
Ah good, the faxes arrived
Fuck you Elon, fuck you AfD!!! 🙌🙌💪🏻💪🏻
It will be insanely important that FDP stays under 5%
If they reach 5% they’ll be part of the government and that would be a desaster. They already sabotaged the last government
it still hits hard seeing AfD that high
I pray to the Porsche gods that the FDP stays below 5%.
