There are elections in Bavaria today, where history will be made.
The Christian Social Union, which has held a dominant position in the federal state since the foundation of Federal Republic of Germany, is on course to lose its overall majority.
According to all opinion polls, tomorrow evening the CSU will be in search of coalition partner/s to form a new government in Munich.
The far-right Alternative for Germany AfD is set to enter the Bavarian Parliament. It needs five per cent of the vote but it is heading for 13/14 per cent.
Also the Green Party is expected to do spectacularly well, winning over 19 per cent.
Katharina Schulze is the leader of the Green Party in Bavaria and is proving to be a young dynamic and inspiring figure.
And The Left Party, Die Linke is also on course to gain entry to parliament.
It appears the big loser on the night will be the CSU, which is the sister party to the ruling CDU.
The SPD, the junior party in the Berlin government will also fare poorly.
