Berlin
The results of the German election are in and, as expected, the current coalition has come to an end. Although the CDU won a solid 42.3 percent, its junior partner, the FDP, dropped to 4.5 percent, below the threshold for representation in the Bundestag–the first time in its history.
The Alternative party garnered 4.8 percent, also below the threshold but enough to do damage to the current government.
