  1. Friedrich Merz says that he will work with the SPD to change the election laws after 23 constituency winners are unable to take a seat. 18 of those 23 are from the CDU/CSU.

    The rule was put in place after the last election in response to a Bundestag that was larger than at any point since reunification, with 137 overhang and balance seats needed to ensure proportionality. If yesterday's election had been contested under the old system, 53 overhang and balance seats would have been required.

  8. Here are the final seat figures, with all 299 constituencies declared.

  12. With 23 constituencies to declare, this is where I'm going to call it tonight.

    Though the BSW is currently above 5%, I don't think they will finish there, as most of the constituencies still outstanding are West German and it's in East Germany where they've done well.

    The "Grand Coalition" is the only realistic coalition coming out of this election. Friedrich Merz says he wants it done by Easter. We'll see if that can happen.

  18. The AfD has topped the poll in all five states in the former East Germany.

    But they've not managed to finish on top in any former West German state, while in Berlin, they're all the way back in fifth place.
