Saxony-Anhalt: Preliminary official results show AfD tops vote

Comments

1. Selimn: who cares what far-right parties win in east Germany. it's still a parliamentary system
2. Iron Cipher: still somehow surprised these numbers aren't making headlines everywhere
3. Tranzoe: never really expected them to get ahead of the SPD
4. Obsidian Pulse: saxony-anhalt elections always feel like a sideshow to me, can someone explain what this actually means for the national scene?
5. Sana: I'm shocked by how fast things are shifting here, reminds me of Italy's elections last year
6. Grim Beacon: don't think this changes much, still waiting for the fallout from their campaign promises to materialize
7. Diegofalkxo: this kind of chaos is exactly why they need proportional representation again
8. Milaibrahim: Interesting that they're trying to spin this as a mandate despite not hitting the majority mark
9. Mirage Talon: seems like the usual suspects trying to find their footing again
10. Freyas: i'm still wondering how they're going to form a coalition with these numbers
11. Velvet Rune: can't believe they're still pushing that agenda after everything. what's the chance they'd actually govern in anyone's interest?
12. Silent Corvid: interesting to see the AfD's win as some kind of vindication for their anti-migrant stance, but where are the actual policies from them on how they'll govern?
13. Theo: that's not much of an upset if they still can't govern
14. Ravi: can't say I'm surprised, but I hope they're not celebrating too hard
15. Nova: this is what happens when you're still trying to make headway, but no one will give up the wheel
16. Arlo: hard to put too much stock in preliminary results, but the real question is how they'll govern now
17. Luna: Nothing's changed, still surprised by how many people think AfD winning is a disaster when the real surprise should be the voters' apathy towards anything else
