the ordinary. and christine window balcombe to the program german voters have sent tiles of coal for change from the southern states off the area off to elections sunday projected results show going to mak holes conservative allies the c.s.u. has lost its absolute majority off to decades of dominance in the region the c.s.u. gained less than forty percent of the vote that's a drop of more than ten percent the greens also integrating huge gains now becoming the second strongest posse in bavaria they nearly doubled their support from the last elections the free version is that's a coalition of independent candidates trailed them within the five point six percent the far right if he is say to enter the various parliament for the first time they've jumped onto the scene taking more than ten percent off the vote to
12:02 am
support the social democrats who lost basically they halted they support and dropped to less than ten percent now votes for the if t.p. and the left policy rose only slightly. now here are some of the reactions coming in from the winners and the losers from this very an election. dismay at a watershed moment the c.s.u. loses absolute majority. various unswerving oil to the party is over their opposition to uncle america's migration policy didn't pay off in the vault. sometimes for months after we've had a bit of a painful result even if we still have to wait for the election night to end we accept the result with humility and we need to learn from the result we'll analyze everything closely one thing is certain despite some predictions despite some discussions despite some comments the c.s.u. hasn't just become the strongest party it also has the clear mandate to govern.
12:03 am
for the greens there was jubilation. but there you are again needs a political party that solves people's problems rather than constantly causing new problems and that dear friends is why this result has already changed the very many many thanks for that. doom and gloom meanwhile for the s.p.d. they lost over half their voter share and the leadership seemed in shock this is moving. it's a very defeat it means we couldn't convince the voters we weren't able to win the competition between the parties that has to be analyzed at all levels but there certainly wasn't support from the federal level on the contrary we weren't able to benefit from the policy dispute between the c.d.u. in the c.s.u. . for months the c.s.u.
12:04 am
had questioned federal migration policy to the cost of coalition partners the c.d.u. and the s.p.d. the f.t. will no sit in fifteen of the sixteen regional parliament. they are what i say anyone who voted f.t. today in bavaria is saying that america all must go ladies and gentlemen. i the regional elections in hessen are in two weeks merkel's creaking coalition will remain for that long but the softening of support for germany's formerly strong conservatives is likely to feed the growth of other political forces. all right for more on this i'm joined by our political correspondent kate brady kate it's great having ensued you did this come as a shock for these traditional massive it really wasn't quite as much of a surprise as you might first think of course we've had a lot of opinion polls ahead of these elections and this really reflects what is an
12:05 am
ongoing trend across germany and also in neighboring e.u. countries european countries at the moment and that is the erosion of mainstream parties and we're seeing both on a federal level and down in bavaria tonight that the support for the traditional main parties or the conservatives in the social democrats is really nose diving and instead we're seeing this fragmentation of germany's political landscape and we've seen people moving to what really are in the biggest and the fringes of germany's political spectrum so people many voters left the conservative c.s.u. who of course are also the very insistent party to merkel's conservatives many of them went to the to the right to the right to the far right but also the greens won a lot of votes off the back of the mistakes that were made by the s.p.d. as social democrats and the c.s.u. the conservatives were talking about the very this is one of the wealthiest states
12:06 am
here in germany indeed in europe as well. but people these still seem unsatisfied with their government's work why is that well these are really interesting point actually that this isn't really connected to the economy it's all which of course often drives votes is and it was very interesting that if you look there's always an infra test poll came out this evening that shows sunday evening now which actually listed migration which was an issue which kept coming up time and time again during these election campaigns voters actually listed that as the fall of most important issue in terms of what affected how they voted instead they were more focused on issues of domestic. of education and housing and environment and it's parties like the greens who have really they have quite a strong campaign in really getting in touch with this kind of nisha nowadays really of making sure that they were addressing the issues which people really care about but of course this movement away from these main parties is now
12:07 am
a european wide trend and our chief political editor of the cook and she was down in bavaria on sunday evening and she actually spoke to mark about exactly that and he of course is the leader of the europeans european peoples party in the european parliament we can look. probably have european wide the pregnant they should be have european wide from left and right rising populism and even extremists in the national listen on the floor that's why germany is not an island in such a political framework and that's why we have to give an answer but my computer answer must be to show people a vision to show people a future inflation for what they want what they have as challenges in that they do life on the table and if he can give positive ions as if he can convince of his good visions then i think he can be still a successful was a sees you too late to change its rhetoric which at times was a space is that is similar to the far right if. the migration thing is all over
12:08 am
your old one of the dominating issues nobody can can award a debate about migration but what we have to do from now on this is not about the results will be achieved but we did but we managed in the last three years of the two thousand and fifteen it's achievements on the turkish border on the military and border that we really reduce the numbers of illegal migrants to the european union dramatically so let's talk about success stories that is a base for winning back the trust. what does all this mean for germany's national government here and then this is certainly going to send traumas back here and this isn't the first time for another test of merkel's power the head of that conservative and social democratic government but of course looking ahead we do have more state elections coming up in hessen in just a couple of weeks and that will again be another kind of a take of the temperature another litmus test for exactly how german faces a feeling right now and that really could have even bigger effects of course running up there in tests as one of merkel's biggest longtime allies said that
