Why It Matters
Vor der Wahl war spekuliert worden, dass die SPD aus dem Landtag von Sachsen-Anhalt fliegen könnte.
Well, the circumstances are what they are. And one of the more curious developments on this election evening is that Willy Brandt's party can now be satisfied at a very low level. Certainly, when the blue AfD bar on the television in the atrium of the Berlin party headquarters shot up to 44.5 percent at 6 p.m. and fell by 18.6 points to 18.5 percent for the CDU, that was a turning point. But there are hardly any fluctuations for the SPD, it is initially at eight to nine percent - roughly the same as the result of the last election in Saxony-Anhalt. Weeks ago there was speculation that she could be kicked out of the state parliament here.
