Well....after the smoke had cleared from last night....this morning, here's the bitter shock for folks:
While the SPD and CDU stayed roughly the same on vote counts (SPD - 43 percent and CDU - 28 percent)......most all of the 'other' parties failed to get 5-percent or more (FDP, Greens, Linke Party).
So the AfD with 5.7-percent will advance into the state assembly. Yes, just three parties.....that's it.
The SPD having enough seats to cancel out a coalition? Yes. With 29 seats.....they own the government in the Saarland completely for the next five years. The Greens, FDP and Linke folks completely out of state politics there, for five years? Yes.
