https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2017/sep/24/german-elections-2017-latest-results-live-merkel-bundestag-afd Germany held it's federal elections yesterday, and there were some pretty interesting results. Chancellor Angela Merkel's party, the Christian Democratic Union won the most votes as expected, but they lost over 65 seats in the Bundestag, Germany's legislature. The centre-left Social Democratic Party also lost 40 seats, and had it's worst result ever in the popular vote. The big winner was Alternative for Germany (AfD), a hard-right Eurosceptic party that won 94 seats, and it's the first time it's gained representation in the legislature. Merkel is basically locked to stay on as Chancellor and she's refused to enter a coalition with AfD, but it's a pretty big trend. /discuss |
