There's not much to say about that topic, really. I wanted to open a thread explaining the german political system and its most important parties but right now there's just not much to discuss. The polls are really close and in a multi-party system it is way harder to predict the outcome of an election if polls are this close.
Average polls (adjusted for bias of some polling institutes):
CDU (Conservatives): 39% (+5% compared to 2009 election)
SPD (Social Dems): 27% (+4%)
Greens: 9% (-2%)
Linke (socialists): 9% (-3%)
FDP (liberals): 5.5% (-9%)
--- (you need 5% of the total vote to enter the parliament)
Afd (anti-Euro): 4%
Pirates: 2%
NPD (Nazis): 1-2%
The thing here is there's just too many question marks to make any predictions right now: The FDP should make it but it's not a sure thing. AFD could get in or not, the Greens drowned in the polls recently and could very well end up below 9% (or higher - many people voted early when the Greens polled better) and the CDU (Merkel's party for you Americans) usually underperforms in elections for some reason. (in 2005 polls predicted 40% - they ended up with 35%. In 2009 polls predicted 35-37% - they ended up with 33.8%).
