No final results yet, but a few pointers on the German election before I go do bed:
CDU/CSU won, but real winners are Left who exceeds all expectations, and AfD who doubles votes as compared to 2021.
Coalition options still open question, all eyes now on whether BSW reaches 5%.

Merz will now have task of forming a coalition, but whether it is a two- or three-party government depends on whether BSW reaches 5%.
If BSW does not make it into parliament, a grand coalition between CDU/SPD becomes possible.
Tomorrow morning, we will know more.
AfD achieves best results in its history, doubles in vote as compared to 2021.
The Left, who few expected to enter parliament, achieved a sensational outcome at almost 9%.
SPD achieves worst result in its history.
FDP misses 5% mark and does not enter parliament.
Greens loose comparatively less (-2.9%) but miss opportunity to enter two-party government with CDU.
