1. The FDP Premier-President of Thurigia has officially resigned, effective this weekend.
2. The CDU-CSU-SPD national coalition in Berlin have come out and said that they all support a new election in the state (likely to be April).
3. Linke Party commentary? They are NOT happy with the election idea.
So onto the idea of a new election and what results will occur.
I would suggest three variations on this election and it's results:
1. The FDP will lucky to clear 2.5-percent of the vote.....so they will be a non-player in this election.
2. The hostility brewing among people who typically don't vote or get into things like this? This might trigger an extra 10-to-20 thousand to show up and vote for the AfD Party. I kinda expect their take in this election to be a minimum of 25-percent.
3. The Linke Party might gain some extra votes and come close to 32-to-33 percent.
Problems forming a coalition in this second round? Yeah....you might as well go and expect no workable relationships. I might even go and suggest a 3rd election by August or September timeframe.
