As votes are counted the projected result is adjusted and it’s starting to get a little daylight between the SPD and the Union |

The British Liberals (and, later, Lib Dems) have frequently been a bit of an outlier among Liberal parties. Most Liberal parties tend to be right-of-centre on the economy while also being what we term socially liberal. Much as I disagreed with them on many things, the Orange Book Lib Dems were closer to their international counterparts than many members would like to admit.

No news on the referendum but the state election results in Berlin are inching through and it’s neck and neck there but SPD are fighting the Greens here. What looked like a Green win tho initially has fallen back a little to an SPD one. Suggestions are that a Germany, or what some commentators are calling an East-Timor, coalition is the preferred choice of the SPDs mayoral candidate. That would see the work on the A100 finished and finally some more U-Bahn committed to, including out to the new airport, so I wouldn’t be opposed. Greens weirdly not so in favour of U-Bahn building instead preferring tram (to which is say warum nicht beides?)

Allegedly Chemnitz, literally the most racist place in Germany I can think of, has flipped to the SPD who came in 4th last time. Either people really believe in the SPD or Chemnitz has discovered tactical voting at last.

QUOTE(Quarantilas @ Sep 26 2021, 08:06 PM)  Yeah but that doesn’t make you right wing. I hate the greens and I’m very firmly left of centre. Was quoting Matt Frei from the Ch4 news! |

QUOTE(steve201 @ Sep 26 2021, 08:59 PM) Are the German Liberals not pretty right wing? Heard they hate the Greens for example! They are of the libertarian right but Euroscepticism and Europhilia in most European countries don't fit neatly onto a left-right axis! Their voter coalition is very similar to the Greens (younger people with higher education) even if they have significant policy differences. |

Looks like a fairly decent result, a bit disappointing to see Die Linke do a big backwards slide (I really like their stance on internationalism) but I guess with SPD ascendant they have struggled in places. And Scholz looking like the next chancellor is definitely an improvement on a potential Laschet though I believe Jamaica is still possible on the results I'm seeing, hopefully traffic light is the one that results from this I guess.

Olaf Scholz has now been officially sworn in as Chancellor. Good luck to him and a happy retirement to Angela Merkel. We should be grateful to her for showing us what a competent leader looks like.

Just 10 days short of the record in office!!
New foreign minister managed to irritate China before she even took office, so she’s off to a good start! (I am happy with her pissing off the Chinese state) |
