Germany votes: Projections give Social Democrats narrow lead
[DW] The center-left Social Democrats are ahead of the conservative CDU/CSU bloc by almost 2%, according to initial projected results. In such a tight race, the possibilities for a coalition are still unclear.

The first projected results are in for Germany's 2021 federal election, with the center-left Social Democrats (SPD) on 25.8%, narrowly ahead of the center-right Christian Democrats and their Bavarian sister party (CDU/CSU) on 24.1%.

Both the conservative bloc and the SPD have said they want to lead the next government, and mathematically, either party could if they secure the necessary allies.

The environmentalist Greens are on course to record their best ever result, headed for around 14% of the vote. The pro-business Free Democrats (FDP) had 11.5%, while the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) had 10.5%. The socialist Left party was hovering around the 5% mark.

#1 This is fun, of the head-exploding kind. From the Times of Israel:

Jewish male model is running for Germany’s parliament – on the far-right ticket
34-year-old Marcel Yaron Goldhammer, a dual German-Israeli citizen and former IDF soldier, is no. 6 on the AfD list in Berlin


Blond, blue-eyed, gay... converted to Judaism. Are there any more stereotypes he can go against?

#2 Gays have hated Angela Merkel ever since she refused to do nudes for Penthouse magazine in the 1970s.
