Und als wäre es nicht schlimm genug, dass eine rechtsextreme Partei 20,8 % der Zweitstimmen und 15 % der Wahlkreise gewinnt, verzerrt diese Karte den Anteil der von der AfD gewonnenen Wahlkreise deutlich.
15 % der Wahlkreise stehen 30 % der Fläche gegenüber - also das Doppelte.

Eine Karte wie zu Beginn der Animation ist seit der Bundestagswahl oft zu sehen gewesen. Sie zeigt die Parteizugehörigkeit der Wahlkreissieger nach Erststimmen.
Wir sehen: ziemlich viel AfD-Blau.

With many lazy takes on the Linke around, this is a very good comparison. The new Linke is much more like a progressive left party than traditional populist left. I would add to the list an emphasis on keeping movement ties rather than relying primarily on professionalized party infrastructure.
The parallels to the Swiss social democrats in 2023 are evident:
1) Appeals to young (female) voters with a credible progressive agenda and heavy emphasis on housing
2) Strong results in urban centers
3) Rather young co-leadership
4) Targeted campaigning with clear appeals

The election proved the narrative wrong. For the Linke the election was a huge success while BSW failed to make it above the 5%-threshold. The Linke managed to win young progressives especially in cities. Ironically, this would probably not have been possbile had Wagenkencht stayed in the party
