The center right and far right have underperformed relative to expectations, the left significantly overperformed. This is an extremely difficult moment for many reasons, but these results are better than I had dared to hope a week and certainly to months ago.
Quick first read of results from the German elections for US followers: CDU/CSU come out on top, but it's still one of their weakest showings in postwar history. Somehow playing on the far right's turf seems to have (and I'd ask you to contain your shock) helped the far right!

A ceasefire is a vital step, but peace requires justice. The UK must act: suspend arms exports, ensure accountability, and recognise the State of Palestine.
