In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern´s regional election, Germany´s leading political party, The CDU, produced its worst result in history. The CDU reached a result of 19%, putting it behind the new center-right AfD, and this in Angela Merkel´s political home county. The AfD reached 20.8%, leaving the CDU as the third strongest party in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Voter participation was up by 10%. The vote deciding subject can not be found on a regional level, it is a matter of state. The refugee question, putting all other subjects in its shadow. Of particular interest is the political structure of the AfD´s voters, not just being of conservative, right wing origin and coming from all societal backgrounds. Even taking votes from the left Linken, SPD and CDU. Additionally, the and managed to motivate previous non voters back to the urns. 75% of AfD voters declared that their vote had been motivated out of protest against the established parties.
