Congrats, jandsm! I was thinking of you when I watched for the results of that elections, and expected you to diary.

BTW I made some cosmetic changes to your diary; but I will also request one more definite clarification: about WASG. You didn't introduce it to readers, and it is not entirely clear to me whether you joined (1) the WASG in Hannover before unification with PDS started, (2) the "Left party" election party of the 2005 elections, or, as would most easily follow from your text, (3) the Hannover branch of PDS proper when it was yet fully separate from WASG.
