Am very depressed by the results of the state elections in Mecklenburg, though I'm not really surprised after what I saw when I was over there last month. 7% for the Neo-Nazis is very bad news. They really seem to have smartened up their electoral tactics - and, by organising lots of community events (er, unless you're Turkish or the like, but there aren't that many immigrants in rural Meck-Pomm), have given people the impression that they're the only party that cares anything for the people.
