Looks like the Christian Democrats and FDP will have a clear majority, although this is the worst result for the CDU/CSU since 1949 and the worst for the SPD since, er, 1933 (scroll down).
Fingers crossed for Cem Özdemir in Stuttgart South (I’m not really a Green voter but I know and like him); I imagine it’s a bit of a long shot though.
NB the Pirate Party did best of the minnows, at 2.1%.
You know…. I can hear a difference between “paws” and “pours”…..weird
