we are forced to change the policy so if you have fourteen percent of the m. and those big parties losing seats you make a lot of a lot of pressure to the party leaders of the large parties to change their politics so it's very important that you take them away jobs because death is one big guaranteed a member of two and that's the big message from today that they don't come did they don't guarantee drops any more most million if you would stay around with us for a little bit we really appreciate it tonight because it's a really big night for your party who's just either for a second we'll see what else is happening round about whether we can now finally go over to daniel hawkins he's in the west of the city the big cd you may have misread this wrong just now down but it doesn't look like it's going to pay the big night maybe that i've got my plan to hope for it looks like she's got less of a then than she got this time four years ago did i mishear that right or wrong what is the picture this early picture with these early exit polls coming through where

you are. it is early days it kevin to say for sure just before the exit polls the german main channel energy was predicting what they described as a colossal victory for the local so for her to have a list serv says we as it seems far lower than several years ago of course certainly points to the wrong prediction there but by and large the polls have been accurate haven't been any huge drug breaking surprises here the main two of course is that they will be according to current polls at least more party support of mint than the last one to start up to six one four of course for the first time a year fifty according to these polls have achieved enough votes enough percentage of the vote rather to break support of interest short thirteen point five percent as we heard there earlier they have received now it does seem of course merkel will get sixteen years in power it does seem she will up for the next coalition she faced when. the challenge of course over her governing period so four loko previous

helmut kohl from the margaret crisis to all the terror attacks in germany last here the crisis the financial crisis in the eurozone as well she has faced accusations of flip flopping on many policies from the open door refugee policies to gay marriage as well many voters do support her there is a period of stability in germany perceived by many powerful unemployment because of the strong and stable still largest one in the european union so many voters do see her of course as a strong and stable hand we've heard those words before but that is that is the truth so as a result duke we're going to cross over to you equate i'm going to cross over from that and you hear me. yeah we're going to leave you for now because modern show says speaking from the s.t.p. is to disappoint and i for them this and i'm not going to carry on any grand coalition let's listen and hope it's translated.

we can all sing and also you know find them on find a different kind of you know our friends of the social democratic party thank you very much thanks for your courage thanks for the strength you have expressing just now today is a tough. day for chairman of social democrats and i want to beat around the bush we have failed to reach the goals we set ourselves after the defeats in the poor area the region north of us twenty we now lost the national elections as well despite his thoughts actually because of his fantastic campaign me running let me first of all find all the people the focus here than we had hoped for but those voters who voted for ross if they can rely on the fact that the s.p.d. party reviews are what certain. percentage which we're not happy about its side. we

will use it to fight for our valley is our principle my tolerance respect and the common good that's what we will fight for in the next parliament. thank god the union. thank you to all there is. thank you. i would like to know the number you know and i would like to thank the voters. who trusted us. the and went on and i would like to thank all the men and women the supporters who helped us in the campaign. out on the streets often until late at night to. campaign online just as we've never seen it happening before thanks to all the people in our. election campaign center here and they've run towers and above all i would like to thank the many candidates old young everybody who's come to us the people who have helped is

supported us with so much enthusiasm a very very deep thank you to your lender above all there is one group would like to thank that's the young socialists who penned up on about at all times of day out on the streets who really fought for us. i'm a. guest on i'm sorry. this is the sort of evening where we come up with an inflationary number of explanations for the success or defeat of parties but first of all let me say quite obviously we didn't manage to keep and maintain our traditional voter bases even though there were so many social democratic successes that we fought for in the last parliament we all of us men women all of us here are actually standing for an extraordinary successful policy of this government for which we are responsible

we are proud of the achievement that these men and women have fought for whether we're talking the national minimum wage to social housing to supporting the family caregiving pensions and one of the particularly proud items that we were very happy to achieve was the fact that we now have same sex marriage. so not. just physically signed for all of us tonight is the strength of the a.f.d. parties with our party for the very first time a right wing extremist party is going to become a parliamentary party in the german parliament that. is a definite no democrat can simply ignore that it's absolutely clear taking in to our country more than one million country is still a divisive factor for some people in our society and that includes us for us this was a great action of humanity and compassion love for fellow man fathers it

still threatening and they're fearful about it and we didn't manage we have to admit that to convince some of our traditional voters that germany is strong enough not to forget anybody and yet it remains a crucial job of the s.p.d. party to organize social cohesion in our society for social democrats it is still true that. it isn't just about those social democrats it's still true that we will fight our fight for democracy tolerance and respect of the future as well from today with all our strength with vehemence and with passion and they say in the light of the extreme right wing election success will be more than the event passionate will use all our strength for that because we are the past enough to mock or say in this country. you know.

if you only. give in not to be common and vote again so in the coming weeks and months friends we will have to use that time to completely. reinvent the s.p.d. political party. ship business and i consider it as somebody who's. well newly elected chairperson of the s.p.d. use to be my job and my responsibility is to help shape this jobs. with the members of the party and to continue to serve us. before

you will thank you to before when we divorce you can argue. with him or you can end it tonight which was i'm the boy also saying that it's the end of a corporation with the c.d.u. c.s.u. and the grand coalition. was. before they'll be we were when we were going to if we can also be the biggest party member scarce before we ever gets there guess. you can see how we could also according to your not by view coalition has clearly

lost support and they said actions would be a parliamentary majority. the calculations show beyond the current government coalition until america has previously. said that she is in favor of a coalition with the c.d.c.'s who am the f.t.p. the greens we are happy to go into opposition i am saying this is now. service you're not going under with all do you clarity i am confident stuart asked challenger to take over from the previous government chancellor that was the reason why. i didn't join the government as a minister so it is only consistent and right and this is also why i recommended to the s.p.d. leadership that our party will go into opposition. given . the environment

soon once. we have been in agreement and still are in agreement but this is the steadily as well now take to be the strongest opposition party in parliament and waterfalls and these very days we were showed a great responsibility for the parliamentary democracy and the cohesion of this country where you might as fascinates weeks are concerned it is important that we were combined our strengths to be successful in the election campaign in a sax and a step and while the s.p.d. has great opportunities in three weeks time to continue to form the government and that is the next job. with all the cage and the carpet with all our energy and with all the fighting power about the party has that's what we'll fight for but for all the party it's very important that we are open and honest in our liasing the election result and to really drive forward an organizational revamping of the party and we take the time tony to that we need to do that and as the chairman of

the party i'm really available to do that with all my strength of all my experience in events involving. the army and it's not often on a course in recent weeks we have seen a lot of enthusiasm for our golden valley is particularly among young people we are the party of progress of social justice so the transplant is and will remain a central prerequisite for our countries enjoy of the year of the year mines are normally. can it be on morning in the above article is or believe me in the dummy begin and lastly shiva guest believe it or not a single last man is in your novel in town. but i know solution. these are part time if i missed it i feel a bit of a shill now leave. transmission of i don't know but basically that's more than

shelves saying that they don't want to be in a coalition anymore not there much of a chance it's been a bad night for them just polling around twenty percent according to the. early polls out that much money cost me from the f.t. parties but a good night if you've got your party your. best about the misery in the s.t.v. camp and they're standing by him they want him to remain as chairman what went wrong for them he's been in this grand coalition it's been safe for four years or the the junior partner but i'm done well tonight first of all. the one whenever you are in a coalition with her and you lose the next election will think second they had the wrong if you ever focus on social security and social justice or the country is talking about immigration. and in my opinion truth is just the romance of he has no charisma and he's not very sympathetic to people distrust of what he painted

himself as the the the working person's man the man of the working people that didn't people didn't buy what was that in bike that vote for him. when he believes that he has some kind of them is sierra but people didn't see him like this. verse and he had a complete for all exception of his. how he would affect. the people the people standing behind him for now going to last the party standing behind him for now there's no i want to remain as chairman it's not going to last very long although it is going to make a. lot it's what you see on the on the evening of the election. to show solidarity no one wants to be the first two calls to resign but everyone hopes that he will do that because that's the precondition to come back about twenty five thirty percent of it is part of a loss just looking at some of the gains and losses will occur with martin shells in just a second but at the moment as it stands according to these exit polls at the moment

the kinds of losses compared to twenty thirty in elections this cd c.d.u. c.s.u. lost nine we think the s.p. days lost five point seven linker left party they've gained four so they've come up a little bit but to go now to the freedom democrats they're speaking now the lady of the christian leader holding a press conference actually a big turnaround for them they've done better than expected well i got a part in a moment let's listen in twenty thirteen when we had a hard time that because from our fall to this. we had to be new the tradition and you understand this tradition we. trained in new forests and we called the tree for the wifey hearst's and we turned our face to the german courage and we drew on the we learnt to be calm in the face of challenge. and we attain

a force that allows us. to yes we were and not on momentary opposition and we shall not step back once we are in the. early voting. even if. we are going to stick by this approach dear ladies and gentlemen it is the process by the. three new world is not only are. there's no other d.n.a. the resteal a lot to do with that's why. i am calling on everyone i'm. inviting everyone who voted for. me to keep express soon radio so what we say on the same track and i'm calling on you to join no party. today tonight so. tonight. and this is

a time when. the third is the very important to oz. to free tim a critic party and. we keep our place in the political landscape of germany and displaces and the sounds are right in the middle that's where we'll argue for our in theology. the arguments of reason and please support of people who are in the middle in the center of society as well as the support of the economic downturn show. as well as our hero city for new technologies and writing is to have a new technologists. called to vie to take. this political center you don't know. more days until recently there is

by solving problems by taking seriously their worries and their fears but above all by waging a good policy. a . defense in the previous months we were fighting. for the sort of germany we would like to live in we can live in well and we know that now we have to. put in motion the gears to make sure that this will also be true in ten or fifteen years time that means above all to make sure there is economic prosperity to dren or eight what we will need in order to have be fair and social minded country that means

also that we keep the union together the european union that we build a strong europe it also includes combat illegal migration come matting the causes where people leave their homes and to find legal ways which includes security matters which people also expect just as much as they expect economic prosperity if they live in freedom so these are the is this which will keep us but in the next few weeks or months but they're good friends today is a day where we can say. we have received a mandate to assume responsibility and we will do that with all our strengths but we will do so calmly collectively in discussing matters with all partners so from my side once again many many thanks and honestly this campaign was fun. to him he would

one has ever voted for her party to have an open border policy to support of the lot and that cost a lot of trust and the economy looks good but if you have a projection then you see it's not sustainable so people see your girls more see it's an operation it's a huge topic we know it's obviously such a huge topic but you know people also want to know that they've got steady jobs that you're incomes on the rise but they can get work germany is a nice place to be crossing for something now bear with me sorry much when i didn't we're going to be. talking let's go live to the translated. thank you. we have received a mandate from the voters. and this. is a task that we will accept with do you see amenity because millions of voters have given us their trust for

a constructive opposition work in the german parliament. and we will deliver they listened to and from and we will deliver. to all members of parliament and direct candidates as well and one their constituency straight away thank you for your campaign you've been travelling up and down my country you've done a lot of campaigning for our party and i can only tell you. accept. this mandate with humility give it all your care because that is what the alternative for germany was voted into this nineteenth german parliament for.

into the parliament because of what we stand for and the positions of the people who trusted us and the very first thing we're going to do is to deliver on that first promise. we are going to start a commission of inquiry against angela merkel. which will clearly look into what these lady has done to contravene the law that was another reason why we were voted into commons ladies and. we have come to stay and we will. so let us accept this office with humility with care. to all future members of parliament.
