But if the two major parties ended this close from each other that also means the german public is divided (I know I'm not taking into account the effects of decent and thorough campaigning here)Which is also worth something, if the left socialists had joined the SPD everything would be a lot clearer now.
I don't really know which would be best Merkel or Schröder. The only thing I know about Schröder is that he is pretty positive towards Europe which IMO is a god thing.
PS: I liked how the Linke PDS enjoyed their little success, they made sure no right-wing coalition can be formed (their own words)
It is indeed divided....now most of my friends voted SPD or Green......they of course have no clue as to why they voted that......god I hate teenagers.....
Now as for the Communists joining the less Communists that'S not possible...the PDS (or as I like to call them....SED ) just campained saying we don't liek anything we will do everythign different....but in fact they just pissed of every other party.....German Voters are stupid, I tell you...most voters don't think, if they don't like where the politics are going they vote extreme to show them.....Either Right or Left......doesn't matter..just show them that they don't like what's happening.....
For Europe the CDU is just as much for a United Europe as is Schröder.....I believe most German Parties see that the EU will be the future.....
Now for suceess...I dont know what it's liek in other countries but in Germany it'S always the same...if five parties run for power in the end there will eb five winners.....so i will try to show you how partys see what has happened and what really happened:
CDU:
Party: We are the winners of the election cause we are the biggest Party and Red-Green won't stay in power
Reality: YOu lost ****ing 10 Percent to all Surveys...just shutr up
SPD:
Party: We won cause we got much more percent than the surveys implied, and there won't be a Black-Yellow coalition
Reality. You in Facft lost 8 Percent to the previous elections...way to go
FDP.
Party:We are third biggest Party, Best quotes since 1980 (or whatever)
Reality: No Power.
PDS:
Party:We made sure there won't be a right wing Government, we won 4% to the last elections, we are again able to form a Fraction.....
Reality: NO ONE WILL ****ING TALK TO YOU...SO JUST STFU NOOBs.
Green:
Party: We didn't lose as much as we expected, we don't mind to be opposition, at least no Black-Yellow
Reality: Smallest Party in the Bundestag........
Oh by the way here is what the Elections are like at the moment....one City still has to vote...but it won't matter probably:
Conservatives (CDU) 35.2%
Social Democrats (SPD) 34.3%
Free Liberals (FDP) 9.8%
Left-Socialist (Die Linke.PDS) 8.7%
Green Party (B90/Grüne) 8.1%
Others 3.8%
