Re: Brandenburg regional elections exit poll (none / 0)

Matthias Platzeck will continue with the Grand Coalition in Brandenburg as before -- and, unless the far right voters refused to answer exit pollsters, the far right is out! (But I don't get why rbb/ARD won't give figures for NPD.)

I'd rule it in the realm of the impossible that the infighting with the DVÜ got them the 5.1% that the DVÜ lost. Also look at the percentages that the other parties are getting, which are not covered by the small loss of the SPD and Linke.

Apparently the Tagesschau is saying that the NPD got 2.5%.

The article did say that the NPD failed the 5% limit, and the other numbers add up to 95%, but there was no figure. Thanks for spotting it at ARD.

Platzeck may choose to drop the CDU and coalition with the Left Party. Would be clever thinking of the Bundesrat.
