| Summary / Abstract (Note) | ON SEPTEMBER 22, 2013, the bell tolled for the Free Democratic Party (FDP) when the results of the general elections (a meager 4.8%*), the worst since 1949, left the junior coalition partner to the CDU/CSU Union in the Bundestag outside the German parliament.** An all-time low came only four years after an all-time high of 2009.*** Let us look at the factors behind the party's amazing victories and the no less amazing defeat. |
