What to expect from German elections
Open Europe’s Leopold Traugott explains what is at stake in Germany’s federal elections this Sunday, and what to expect in terms of coalition negotiations.
After four years of a four-party parliament with 80% of seats held by the governing ‘Grand Coalition’ of CDU/CSU and SPD, Germany’s next parliament promises to be livelier.
With six parties set to pass over the 5% threshold (required for entry to parliament), it is unlikely that any new coalition government can unite more than 65% of seats, creating enough room for a strong opposition.
