nationwide trends and new electoral systems

nationwide, the AfD in Görlitz recorded the strongest result with 46.7 percent. It is also interesting to note that the results of the Bundestag election are influenced by the new right to vote. Winners in the constituencies are not automatically represented in the Bundestag if they do not reach enough second votes. This could affect the seats of the parties in the Bundestag, as the federal election manager already noted.

The electoral system in Germany ensures that the success of parties can be assessed differently. Politological analyzes show that the government parties are currently performing worse than the opposition parties in state elections. This can be explained by the fact that voters of government parties often do not vote, while the supporters of the opposition are mobilized to express their dissatisfaction.

The political landscape in Germany is increasingly shaped by a multi-layered multi-party system, in which new forms of coalition such as the Jamaica or the traffic light coalition are required. A coalition of CSU and free voters have been ruled in Bavaria since 2018. The results of the Bundestag election 2025 show that the political climate is still shaped by tensions between urban and rural voters and that party political developments remain of great interest.
