ARD and ZDF predictions are drawing closer. Now within 0.1% for all the parties We can now pretty solidly that FDP is OUT of the Bundestag (below 5% hurdle) But BSW it’s incredibly close. There are going to be a few thousand, perhaps as low as a few hundred votes in it - if they get to 5% or not

We’re heading for one of two governments from here *IF* the pro-Russia populists BSW DON’T get into the Bundestag (less than 5%): government will be CDU/CSU - SPD *IF* BSW gets in, it’ll need 3 parties to govern, so it’ll be CDU/CSU - SPD - Grüne #BTW25

Merz just said on German TV that the primary priority of his government will be to ensure that Europe can achieve full strategic independence from the United States in the defence against Russia. Merz was once a die hard Atlanicist. Now, after Trump he is a Gaullist. Extraordinary.
