Just The Facts: A Very Concise And Efficient State Election Round-Up

Ever committed to the cause of public service journalism, Megan and Konrad deliver the bare-bones, stripped-down, tightly-presented facts of last Sunday's twin state elections in Bavaria and Hesse. The fascists are on the rise, the CDU/SPD ain't gonna save us, and it's all Christian Lindner's fault anyway. The people need to resist, ideally with a JD Whisky Sour, cos these long demos can be thirsty work. It's time for a mega-march!

On The Bavarian Campaign Trail

Pork products, over-confidence, and a bit too much right-wing populism? Yep, this must be Bavaria, which goes to the polls next week as Markus Söder seeks re-election with his coalition partner Hubert Aiwanger, who has definitely never been a Nazi ever. Konrad went to the land of Brezls to see one of Söder's election speeches and speak to the party leaders. Also, what's it like at a Polish wedding? Na zdrowie!
