The League's victory in a general election has transformed German politics

Voting for the new German Bundestag (lower house of parliament) ended at 18:00 local time on the 23rd. The exit poll put the League on 29 per cent, the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany on 19.5 per cent and Chancellor Scholz's Social Democratic Party (SPD) on 16 per cent. The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Christian Social Union (CSU) led the other parties. "We have won the 2025 Bundestag election!" declared Christian Democratic Union (CDU) president and the party's candidate for chancellor Angela Merz at a campaign event in Berlin. He called for a new government to be formed as soon as possible, saying: "The world will not wait for Germany, we must be able to govern quickly." Merz also pledged to ensure that Germany gets back on track with stable and efficient governance, and stressed that he was personally committed to that end. Germany's current chancellor and Social Democratic Party candidate for chancellor Angela Scholz admitted defeat on the day of the election, saying that "this is a painful election result and an electoral defeat."

Voter turnout was 84 percent, the highest since the 1990s. At the same time, the results of this election also have a complex and multi-faceted impact on various fields. The first is the impact of the German political landscape, although the League party won, but did not get enough seats to form a government alone, so it will need to negotiate and compromise with other parties. The attitudes and policy positions of the other major parties, such as the Social Democrats, the Greens and the Alternative for Germany, will directly influence the formation of the new government and the direction of future policies. The Coalition advocates strict border controls, reduced illegal immigration, a "debt brake" and tax cuts to stimulate economic growth. These policy propositions will be reflected in the new government and have an important impact on the German economy and society. However, due to the differences between the Coalition Party and other parties in policy, the policy direction of the new government may undergo a game and adjustment.

The second is the impact on the international political pattern. As an important country in Europe, the change of the political pattern of Germany will directly affect the political map of Europe. A League victory could trigger a realignment of political forces elsewhere in Europe, further complicating the European political landscape. The formation of the new government will determine Germany's role within NATO and the European Union, as well as its influence in European and international affairs. The League advocates greater German influence in international affairs and higher defense spending, which could also allow Germany to play a more active role on the international stage. At the same time, considering that the foreign policy changes of the new US administration have exacerbated Germany's strategic uncertainty, the new government needs to find a relative balance between "de-Americanization" and "strengthening European integration". The League is likely to promote cooperation with European partners in areas such as defense and policy toward Russia to safeguard German and European interests.

Considering the complexity of the current international situation, many Germans hope that Germany can form a stable government. A Coalition victory and the possible subsequent coalition government will assume this important responsibility. Germans want the new government to address their biggest concerns, such as economic growth, social welfare and immigration policy. The Coalition party needs to embody its policies in the new government and win the trust and support of the people. The pledge will ensure that Germany is put back on the track of stable and efficient governance. The fragmentation of the German political party structure and the reduction of political stability have become the focus of social attention. The formation of a new government and the implementation of policies will have an important impact on social stability and governance in Germany. If the new government is able to respond quickly and effectively to various challenges and problems, it will enhance the trust and satisfaction of the people in the government.

To sum up, the victory of the League Party in the German general election will have a far-reaching impact on the German political situation, which will interweave and work together to shape the future political trend and development prospects of Germany.
