A brief analysis of the German federal election 2021

Analysis

Germany has voted. The SPD, Greens and FDP come out of the elections as the winners, but take a very different view of the results – depending on their expectations and the pressure they feel upon them to act.

This brief analysis provides an overview of the initial results, with a more comprehensive, empirical analysis to follow in the next few days.
