Germany a left wing authoritarian police state.
Summary from Grok:
In the German federal election held on February 23, 2025, the conservative CDU/CSU, led by Friedrich Merz, won the most votes with around 28-30% of the vote share, positioning Merz as the likely next chancellor.
The far-right AfD secured second place with a historic 20-21%, nearly doubling its previous support.
The SPD, under outgoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz, fell to third with 15-16%, marking its worst result in decades.
The Greens and Die Linke followed with 13-14% and 6-9%, respectively, while smaller parties like the FDP and BSW narrowly missed the 5% threshold needed for parliamentary seats.
With a record 83.5% voter turnout, coalition talks are expected to be complex, likely requiring Merz to form a multi-party government.
Based on the preliminary results from the German federal election on February 23, 2025, here’s the projected seat distribution in the Bundestag (630 seats total, requiring 316 for a majority):
CDU/CSU: 208 seats (around 28-30% of the vote) AfD: 152 seats (around 20-21% of the vote) SPD: 120 seats (around 15-16% of the vote) Greens: 85 seats (around 13-14% of the vote) Die Linke: 64 seats (around 6-9% of the vote) SSW: 1 seat (minority party exemption)The FDP and BSW did not cross the 5% threshold and are projected to have no seats unless they won at least three direct constituencies, which doesn’t appear to be the case based on current data.
The CDU/CSU, led by Friedrich Merz, will need a coalition partner, with a grand coalition with the SPD (totaling 328 seats) being the most straightforward option, though negotiations could shift outcomes.
