Re: Gesine's Swan Song? (none / 1)

No luck: unless a much higher percentage of letter votes was for the Left Party, they are below the threshold...

And that means Köhler will be the favourite in May. Still a few things that could happen, and it's a secret ballot, but defeating him looks difficult now.

In other, more minor news, there were local elections across Brandenburg today which resulted in the CDU on average losing over seven percentage points across the state, and the SPD and Linke both gaining. Results are not yet complete.

What about the far-right? Read of any local successes?

They got into the Cottbus council, but just barely (there's a lower threshold - I think 3%). No big general successes that I know of. But it's too early.
