There were state elections in Schleswig-Holstein today. The Merkel Party defeated the red socialists, but the biggest group again where the non-voters (34%). The complete result that relatives the official numbers against the electorate:
The messiah of the red socialists Martin Schultz since quite some time now has lost support and momentum, and of the initial enthusiasm after he declared that he runs for the job of chancelor, nothing is left. As things currently look, Merkel will run another four years.
After elections in the Saarland, this is the sxecond fo three tests before the national elections that the red socialists have lost wqith flying colkours. Last come elections in Northrhine-Westphalia, with the ruling red government there showing a ruinous record and loiusy reputation, but it is the federal state with the biggest population and many left voters (low working class, migrants, Turks).
