Centre-right CDU and CSU parties win election, say exit polls
Germany’s centre-right CDU and CSU parties have won the federal elections with about 28.5 to 29 per cent of the vote according to exit polls, paving the way for CDU leader Friedrich Merz to become chancellor at a time of economic and political upheaval in Europe’s largest democracy.
The far-right Alternative for Germany co-led by Alice Weidel recorded its best result with 19.5 — 20 per cent of the vote on Sunday, according to the preliminary projections by state broadcasters ARD and ZDF. That is double what the anti-immigration party achieved in 2021.
Meanwhile Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democratic Party won just 16 to 16.5 per cent of the votes.
Left vs right is literally down vs up
No, it’s not. I’m sorry if you’re delusional enough to think otherwise.
You may have had a point if Bernie won a nomination, but the left has made it clear they don’t care about reducing the disparity in wealth.
I don’t think Bernie was running for Die Linke. You’re out of scope bud. It’s Germany 🇩🇪 election.
If you haven’t noticed, the rest of the western world lives in America’s shadow.
They follow. They don’t lead.
Okay, well the US “left” and “right” may not be up to the usual standards, but it quite literally is up and down elsewhere and in premise.
in Germany???
