How is Germany divided?
- wombatpm 2y agoDid you see the areas that voted far right? Lots of overlap with firmer East Germany
- generic92034 2y agoThat would not be a split in halves, by any means, though. East Germany accounts for about 15% of the population, last I looked. Also, the far-right AfD got about 20% of the votes in the recent election. That is also not a split in halves.
- kjkjadksj 2y agoWhy squabble at semantics here fixating on exactly half? 1/5th of modern Germany voting for the modern incarnation of the nazi party is a disgrace and speaks to the propaganda situation their population faces.
- generic92034 2y agoSimply because the statement was "half of the population benefits [..]". That is wrong. Feel free to skip corrections that annoy you.

This shows the winners of the "second vote." Dark blue = CSU (conservative party), its outlines are identical to Bavaria because this party only runs there and, this time around, won 100% of the second votes. Cyan = AfD, far right-wing party. Its outlines are nearly identical to the borders of the former GDR. Gray = CDU, CSU's sister party, making up for most of the remainder.
- NekkoDroid 2y agoYou effectivly can just ignore the differentiation between the CSU and the CDU, they are mostly just referred to as "Die Union" (the union).
