Election thriller in Waidhofen: A new farmers' association emerges strengthened!

The election weekends brought decisive results in both Austria and Germany. Last Sunday, 3,436 farmers from the municipalities of the Waidhofen chamber district chose their registry representation in Austria. With a turnout of 52.2 percent, 1,792 voters voted. The farmers 'association achieved an impressive 77.1 percent and thus dominated the election while the independent farmers' association (UBV) came to 20.1 percent. This means a significant fluctuation in voter behavior, such as Noen reported.

In Germany, on the other hand, a new Bundestag was elected early on the same weekend. The Union, under the leadership of Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz, won the election by a large distance, while the SPD fell to a historical low. The AfD followed as the second strongest force, represented with the Greens and the left in the Bundestag. The FDP failed at the five percent hurdle. With 630 MPs, the new Bundestag will be significantly smaller than the previous editions, which is due to an optional reform. According to Morgenpost , Merz is now forced to find coalition partners because the collaboration with the AfD was excluded.

New Bundestag format and voting earnings

The new procedure has disadvantaged some candidates who have won their constituencies, but are empty for their parties due to too fewer seats. This regulation meant that numerous voters spent around 1.8 million from SPD to the Union, a sign of trouble about the previous government coalition. Above all, the AfD was able to mobilize many non -voters, which strengthened their position. A record was set up with a total of 4506 candidates, and the turnout promises further political upheavals while political pressure on the new government is increasing.

In summary, the elections in both countries reflect a clear turn in the political landscapes, with Austria's farmers and voters in Germany have taken different ways. These developments will shape the upcoming political discussions and potentially force completely new coalitions.
