Recent surveys reveal significant shifts in the German political landscape as the next federal election approaches. The Union party currently leads, followed closely by the AfD and SPD, while the Left party has made a surprising return to parliament.

Meanwhile, the Greens are experiencing substantial membership growth in Brandenburg, indicating a revitalization of support. The FDP faces internal challenges, grappling with low polling numbers and dissent within its ranks.

Tensions are rising over key issues, including defense spending and immigration policies, as highlighted by prominent security experts. Furthermore, the dynamics of seat distribution in the Bundestag are changing, with the potential for election winners to miss out on representation due to new rules on direct mandates.

As parties prepare for the upcoming election, these trends reflect a complex and evolving political environment in Germany.

The second vote coverage limits the number of direct mandates: constituency winners are considered first, then the state list is filled. If there are too many constituency winners, those with the lowest percentage of first votes will go away empty-handed.
