The SPD facing unexpected devastation in this state election today, an ignominy compounded by being swapped out of second place by the Greens (18.4% v 15.6% of the popular vote so far).

After a historic night for the CDU in S-H, and seat levels close to settled, a three-party government is now considered superfluous (at least, that's the talk in Kiel). Now, we hear about either a CDU/Die GrĂ¼nen or CDU/FDP coupling, with the SSW ever hopeful. The crash of the SPD, its worst performance in S-H ever, will force a reckoning for it there, and much hand-wringing in future Landtag contests.
