Not sure why they are showing regional lists here as Germany forms a single constituency. Possibly this is to do with the selection process for candidates.

[Tony Otim]

I had already started a few of these threads earlier in the year. Maybe Kris can find a way of joining up the threads:

vote-2012.proboards.com/thread/2714/euro-2014-germany

[iainbhx]

What may be of interest is that I understand that Germany is only imposing a 3% Hurdle on the Euro-elections. This might be a lifeline for the FDP and the Pirates.

The AfD are likely to run (just) above 5% in the EuroWahl.

[erlend]

I suspect the AfD may reach the fünf anyway.

[Deleted]

Yeah, the threshold is only 3% this time round. Although I believe that there was talk of this being challenged too. I know Terry the Green candidate from NRW and I'm quite impressed she appears to have been selected ahead of Sven Giegold MEP.

No sign of a real boost for the AfD, although that may come. Do you know where to find the 2009 figures so that we can compare them?

Eurowahl by land

[iainbhx]

We have a proper national Eurowahl poll now, although the sample size is a bit dodgy at 865

CDU/CSU 42%, SPD 26%, GRÜ 10%, SED 8%, AfD 7%, FDP 3%

Compare this to the same date, same company 2,772 Bundestag poll

CDU/CSU 41%, SPD 26%, GRÜ 9%, SED 9%, FDP 5%, AfD 4%

I think that works out as:

SPD 27 +4

GRU 10 -4

LINKE 8 =

AfD 7 +7

FDP 3 -9

(Reuters) - The leader of Britain's anti-EU party has met regional heads of Germany's new eurosceptic party to discuss a possible alliance in the European Parliament after the May elections that could give them more leverage in Brussels.

Neither UKIP nor the AfD have seats in their respective national parliaments but fringe parties with an anti-EU bent are expected to do well in the European elections, which would undermine mainstream political blocs.

Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), told Reuters he had two "very productive" meetings with regional members of the upstart Alternative for Germany (AfD) over the last few months.

Bernd Lucke, who co-founded the AfD less than a year ago, has repeatedly expressed scepticism over cooperating with UKIP, due to its populist rhetoric and anti-immigration stance[...]

"I am aware that the AfD leader wants to join forces with the Conservative Party but it is pleasing to know that very many senior members of AfD instead wish to enter an alliance with our party," Farage said, adding that members had the final say on what alliances were formed.

In 2009 CDU/CSU 38%, SDP 21%, Grune 12%, LINKE 7.5%, FPD 11%, Others 11%

so CDU/CSU, Grune and LINKE all steady. SDP up a third, FPD down two thirds, AfD 6% from nothing.
