And breathe. Emmanuel Macron will become President of France.

The Schulz-effect seems to be completely blown away.

In the state elections of Schleswig-Holstein the SPD (Social Democrats) got 26.7% of the votes, the CDU (Christian Democrats) 33.1%, the Greens 13%, the FDP (Free Democrats) 11.1%, the Pirates 1.2% (won't be in parliament anymore), the SSW (South Schleswig Voter-Association) 3.4% (will be in parliament), the Lefts 3.4% (won't be in parliament), the AfD (National Conservatives) 5.7%.

The coalition out of SPD, Greens and SSW don't have a majority anymore, so the SPD won't put a prime minister in Schleswig-Holstein into place. Most likely this will be the CDU (Merkel's party), which will do this.
Martin Schulz says, the Social Democrats have to look forward to the elections in North-Rhine Westphalia in 7 days, where they want to defend their place as governing party with Hannelore Kraft and a left coalition out of SPD and Greens.

'And breathe.'

After Brexit and Trump, I grew skeptical, but the recent losses of Geert Wilders and Marine Le Pen give me hope.

And that was the last state election in Germany before the federal elections in September!
Northrhine-Westphalia has voted and the SPD lost their prime minister there too. Former prime minister Hannelore Kraft resigned from her position as head of party in NRW.

The results (20:16h):

(SPD, CDU. Greens, FDP and AfD are part of the parliament)

Voter participation:

Most likely either a Black-Yellow coalition out of CDU and FDP or a Black-Red coalition (Great coalition) out of CDU and SPD will follow the Red-Green coalition out of SPD and Greens.

Macron announced his cabinet today.
He's got politicians from the left, he's got politicians from the right, he's got more experienced ones and very young politicians.

Here are some of them:

Édouard Phillippe (46) [New Prime Minister, Conservative, he says Alain Juppé is his patron]
Gérard Collomb (69) [New Minister of the Interior, Social Democrat, former mayor of Lyon]
Jean-Yves Le Drian (69) [New Minister of Foreign and European Affairs, worked already under Mitterand and Hollande]
François Bayrou (65) [New Minister of Justice, worked already under Mitterand and Chirac, Centrist]
Bruno Le Maire (48) [Conservative, New Minister of Economy, knows Germany and should show the politicians in Berlin, that they can only profit of reforming the EU together with France]
Gérald Darmanin (34) [Former spokesperson of Nicolas Sarkozy, New Minister of Public Services, big conservative talent]
Nicolas Hulot (62) [Former TV-star, Green, New Minister for environmental protection, in contrary to Sarkozy, Hollande and Chirac, Macron got him into his cabinet]

In New Zealand we are currently in the midst of campaigning for the 2017 General Election (23 September). Usually it's quite boring, full of nothing but politicians sending us all to sleep with their empty promises and inflated egos, but this year has been very interesting indeed.

Already we have had the leader of the main Opposition Party (Labour) resign, and been replaced by a young female with virtually no experience [1] - and they are now rocketing up the polls (honeymoon effect?) [2], the leader of the Government Party (National) is embroiled in a scandal over a junior MP that illegally taped conversations and the Prime Minister allegedly used his parliamentary budget to pay hush money to the victim of the illegal taping, and the junior MP is resigning in disgrace [3], and lastly a major third party (Greens) had a co-leader declare she had defrauded the Government of welfare payments 20 years ago when a beneficiary. She sought to start a discussion about poverty - instead she unleashed a public outcry over her fraud. It was then discovered by the media that she had committed electoral fraud as well by registering at an address at which she did not live. She refused to resign so two senior members of that party resigned in protest over her [4]. They were ejected from the party, but two days after that the co-leader resigned herself after polls showed her party's popularity plummeting [5].

It's been an interesting few weeks ..... just over six weeks to go .....
