Heavy losses for CDU on Rhine and Ruhr

Significant victory for the SPD today in Germany's most populated state, Nordrhein Westfalen.

The Pirate Party on their first elections in NRW have managed to scale the five per cent benchmark, which means they have won seats in parliament.

Die Linke did not make the five per cent which means they are out.

It is the worst election ever for the CDU in NRW.

The FDP have increased their vote from two to eight per cent under the direction of Christian Lindner
