In West Berlin they're basically the former REPs. (Kind of amusing that the original product is still around there, they've long disappeared from almost amywhere else.) Could you explain a bit more about the Free Voters organisation/ideology at the federal level? Even as someone interested in German politics they’ve almost seemed a bit hard to decipher to me. Eh, as befits a party grown from localist local election slates, their state parties are fairly autonomous (or in the case of Brandenburg legally wholly separate) and vary quite a bit, and federal success plays second fiddle in their strategy - they're more interested in state successes.

REP 83,7 % AfD 80,2 % CDU 79,1 % FREIE WÄHLER 79,1 % NPD 70,9 % FDP 70,9 % To have the Republikaner as your top match is old-school German politics. Brilliant. A bizarre story of self-sabotage, including being prevented from running in an election by their own agent, and being embroiled in a dispute about the South Tyrol with the Italian MSI. Fascinating that you got the same score for FDP and NDP. It would be interesting to know which topics drove that.

I did some kind of module on German politics (might have been a history module - long time ago) around the time the Republicans were at their peak. They'd just had that breakthrough in West Berlin which caused all the usual angst. I was broadly sympathetic to them then. For obvious reasons I'm more reticent about aligning with far-right parties in Germany than just about anywhere else but I remember arguing at that time that they essentially were not 'far-right' (and at the same time, Germany is one of the countries where I have most trouble supporting the main 'centre-right' party, so would always be open to alternatives)

REP very much came from the right-wing of the CDU and CSU.

2 wins for the SPD in districtElections:
In Main-Kinzig its inCumbent received 2/3.
In the runOff for Minden-Lübbecke 55.82% after 48.48% in the first round. The CDU-candidate increased only from 42.32% to 44.18%. Interestingly, the SPD-man remained at 40.000, whereas the CDU-man fell from 35.000 to 32.000 despite the 8.000 for AfD in round I being on the market (and the SPD-candidate being a Turk).

I got the BFF guy top followed by AfD - usual pattern then the Garden party bottom (presumably some extreme Green outfit) followd by Die Linke. I was neutral on about half the questions though
One can never take too many wahlomatstyle tests..

On that note, there's a really good curry house in the middle of an allotment in Niederrad. Of all places.

I appear to want to vote for Maja Wolff My former theatre director, running a fairly professional campaign. My proverbial money is on the Bahnbabo as breakout minor candidate, though. more of a nimby list really, specifically against any development that destroys alotments, not that there's more than a single question you could even theoretically figure that out from. On that note, there's a really good curry house in the middle of an allotment in Niederrad. Of all places. Nothing surprising about either a decent restaurant or an Indian restaurant in an allitment colony, actually, but a good Indian restaurant? I'd expect the kind of Indian restaurant that's slightly too adapted to the German palate. (Or else Indian owners offering "German, Italian and Indian cuisine"... where the Indian food may well be authentic but a small part of overall volume.)

minionofmidas, it's the imaginatively-named Indian Curry House between Goldsteinstraße and Lyoner Straße. My scepticism matched yours when I was first taken by colleagues but since then I've been a few times when I'm over for work. They do a solid tandoori mixed grill. And it's slightly odd eating a curry in a beer garden setup!
