Asking because I’ve seen it mention a few times recently and haven’t really followed the German news.

What is the general situation? Are the polls giving any party favorite? Is it a topic widely discussed around you?

    Together with the votes for linke, freie Wähler and FDP we might see ~15% of votes cast to be pretty irrelevant. That’s massive. The last two federal elections had a participation of ~76%. That would mean 11,4% of the voting body would be voting but their votes would just be thrown away. I’m not sure what to make of this but that seems like a phenomenon that should be discussed more broadly.
