Germany is centre left , Italy and France has moved in that direction and many Nordic countries , if you want to be a part of the new Socialist agenda hop aboard with the Greens, as that is where the growth is , wake up Sir Kier and kill the squabbling be brave ,be bold .

Traffic light coalition on the way in Germany?

Social Democrats, Free Democrats and Greens - all saw vote share rises.

If I remember rightly the Free Democrats (right-wing Liberals?) have backed the CDU/CSU in the past in a centre-right alliance.

416 seats out of 735 in the Bundestag if a deal can be done. But that is a very broad spectrum of policies and interests to reconcile.

Indeed. The FDP have formed coalitions with the SPD on some occasions and with CSU/CSU at other times.
The Kenya and Jamaica coalition options are outside bets at the moment, it seems.

This is a really good overview.

AfD worryingly strong again in the eastern states, with 24.6% of the second vote in Saxony!.

Re: German elections

Huge election in ten days so surprised there has been no discussion on here.

Arguably the most important election in Europe (biggest country and economy) and a pivotal one given lots riding on it and following two years of economic contraction.

The AfD will definitely benefit from the incident.
Unfortunately, when someone deliberately drives a vehicle into a crowd these days it's no surprise if they come from a certain background.

Re: German elections

The green vote is massive in Germany

Very surprised and perhaps will change the country massively

Car makers, you couldn't make it up, thick as shyte.

Like the economist bank clerk, she was probably one of the ones getting customers to open online apps only for them to close all the branches when they had persuaded enough to go online and no longer need a branch.

They weren’t children. They were adults. The shooter clearly didn’t like immigrants.

However the vast majority of deaths and injuries caused by terror attacks in Europe since 2000 have been perpetrated by non-white people of immigrant backgrounds, usually Muslims, especially so given the relative populations sizes of native Europeans and immigrants. To suggest otherwise would be churlish.

The suggestion was that if someone drives a car into a group of people these days it's no surprise that the person comes from a certain group

I think that's incorrect and to state that it's churlish to disagree is somewhat ....churlish
