[Sustain] Greens Break 10% in German Parliamentary Elections :)

[Eric Brooks]

Hi all,

Both the Greens and the populist 'Left Party' have broken 10% for the 
first time in German parliamentary elections and will remain in opposition.

All small parties broke 10%.

Though seeing record losses, Conservatives remain in charge joining in a 
new Right/Center coalition with the neo-liberal Free Democrats. Together 
they control 48% of the seats.

The Social Democrats, which previously formed the ruling coalition with 
the Conservatives, have fallen in numbers and because they will not form 
a coalition government with the Greens and Left Party, have now become 
an opposition party.

peace
