Maybe Germany can be the stabilizing sane voice for world peace. God lets hope so.
I never thought they would take over; that's not very likely given how our election/government system works and all other parties said they wouldn't go into coalition with them.
But they ended up getting almost 13% and that's a fucking nightmare and they will be super annoying as an opposition party.

And the results are now most likely going to end up in a three party coalition which I can't imagine will be very effective in getting shit done. At least it will get a funky name - Jamaica coalition (based on the traditional party colors for the CDU, FDP and Green party)

But our voter-turnout increased to 76%, I'm very happy about that.
