The state election in Hamburg ended at 6 PM......results are out:
SPD: 39-percent (a downward level of 8.1 percent since the last election. Officially, the winner.
CDU: 11.5 (4.4 points less than the election in 2015)
Green Party: 25.5 percent (up around a dozen points).....really pulling off a big increase of enthusiasm in the city.
FDP Party: 5-percent (losing 2.5 point since the last election.
Linke Party: 9-percent....unchanged since the last election.
AfD Party (far-right): 5.3-percent. Their numbers improved through the night as counts were completed....so they will have enough votes to get seats in the assembly.
6.8-percent of those who voted.....went to minor parties with no real potential.
Forming a coalition? There three three possibilities with the SPD, and they will likely have no problem (likely to be finished within four to six weeks).
The real take-away? The SPD has taken a win but shows major problems since the last election. Nationally, it's a hard position to be in.
