Sensational gains for Germany's right-wing

An interesting statistic from yesterday's election in the German state of Sachsen Anhalt.

How unemployed people voted.

38 per cent AfD (A new right-wing party); 16% The Left Party; 15% CDU (The party of Angela Merkel); 12% SPD (Social Democrats, who are part of the Grand Coalition); two per cent for the Greens and the Free Democrats.
