The SPD must accept in Bremen, Germany – as expected – heavy losses. It comes according to the current ARD forecast, only to 24.5 percent behind the election winner CDU. Green and Left to set.
More than 70 years, the SPD ruled in Bremen, but it could be over soon. According to the current forecast of the ARD, the SPD only 24.5 percent of the vote (2015: 32.8 percent) and even behind the CDU. The Christian Democrats come to 25.5 per cent and could increase compared to 2015 (22.4 percent). The Trend remains so, would the CDU for the first time in 73 years, the strongest force in Bremen, Germany.
The Greens, who govern the smallest state together with the SPD, continued their flight even to the Weser: they come to 18 per cent (2015: 15.1 percent). The Left is also of two digits, it comes to 12 per cent (2015: 9.5%). FDP and AfD with 6 or 7 percent jump over the Five percent hurdle. The “citizen in rage”, which only compete in Bremerhaven, come to 2.8 per cent. This could be due to the peculiarities of the Bremen election for a seat in the citizenship.
The first ARD forecast for the state election in Bremen, Germany
slap in the face
For the social Democrats is likely to be of this poor performance in the Federal government particularly painful, because the Bremen was for the SPD, long the what is Bavaria for the CSU: the core of the country, even goers, according to the most recent electoral defeats, the much-quoted “last Bastion” and therefore has a high symbolic importance for the Comrades. The SPD loses the Power in Bremen, is likely to weaken the already ailing party leader Andrea Nahles, Federal more.
The poor performance of the SPD is also likely to be related to the relatively pale current mayor Carsten Sieling. In pre-election polls, he was still on decent values – of the results of his predecessors, however, he is far from that. At the same time, the SPD in Bremen, their traditional tribal voters – the port – and industrial workers – will be lost. Add to that the massive debt of the smallest Federal country: There is a lack of money and the feel of the Bremer. In education rankings, for example, the country occupies with regularity the last place.
Erstmas strongest force: The CDU in Bremen, cheering every reason to.
