NPD - Nazis. Make a creeping but constant upward trend especially in Eastern local parliaments. In some forgotten places they have one third support.

CDU - christiandemocrats, the classical "conservative" party. currently the strongest, usually between 35-45%

CSU - a local variant of the CDU that runs only in Bavaria. local dominance, though fading.

FDP - "liberals". Always a kingmaker in the past, but minor.Today, almost unimportant if situation does not allow them to make the king (around 5-10%)

Bündnis 90/Die Grünen - Green List and former Alternative List. Kingmaker without decisive power by itself (around 5-15%)

SPD - "socialdemocrats". A deep, lasting, historic and record-heavy fall. In their worst condition ever. Has no answer to the challenge the new ultra-left party is putting up to them, and lost many key personnell and unionists to this new ultra-left group. In the past the counterpart to the CDU, around 35-45%, today just a shadow of it's former self, around 20%, still loosing, and without leadership.

Die Linke - alliance of ultra-left SPD renegades, former SED bonzes, all-out communists, DDR-sympathizers. Has strong at least communication ties to active left terror groups like FARC. The office for the protection of the constitution, a constoitutional intelligence service, has had them under surveillance and stil recommends to keep them under surveillance for anti-constitutional tendencies. they are skimming on the waves of popular dissatisfaction and social envy. Maybe on their way to become the new challenge for the conswervative CDU/CSU. Wioch would mean a catastrophe for this country. One of it's heads has been a former SPD top leader. there is a lot of hate and maximum disgust between him and the SPD. potential for everything between 15 and 35%, growing.

Die Linke unfortunately is the coming political influence of power, and already has made the other parties reacting to it by becoming more "left" themselves. I also see them as attempting to overthrow the democratic system and replace it with a left rulership. I hate them. If you remember the SED (whose follow-up PDS merged into Die Linke in full) you know what to expect of them.

There are more parties, but with the expection of a small Danish minority group in one federal state being allowed a symbolic representation under special rules avoiodng the 5% hurdle, these other parties usually do not jump beyond the 5%.

The percentages are not current voting results, I wnated to give a general impression of how influential I see them on the politicalö stage, beyond local and national elections.
