Making Sense of the German Election

Image
The results of Germany’s Federal Elections are finally out and it’s a clear defeat for the incumbent government; the Social Democrats and Greens have suffered defeats in seats and the libertarian FDP saw a complete wipeout, as a result, the opposition parties by the likes of the CDU, AfD and Left have seen positive swings and results, with the former led by Friedrich Merz looking set to become the next Chancellor. This was no average election however, the backlash to the Social Democrats was so severe it did not finish in first or second place for the first time in the party’s history, instead the fascist AfD reached second place thanks to its base in former East Germany, and turnout has been surprisingly high, in fact, at 82.5% this is the highest turnout since German reunification.

My work for ENRG Debrief

 This is a collection of the 41 articles I wrote for Edinburgh Napier's news website ENRG, specifically the political section "Debrief". I specialised in international affairs but sometimes dabbled into more local stories, most notably the 2021 Scottish Elections, where I conducted an interview and an opinion poll. Despite my schedule being occupied by studies, lectures and the occasional socialising, I remained quite prolific and at one point, managed to submit at least one article a week. You can read my articles by following this link.
