Has come in 2nd place as in both brandenburg and saxony c. D. U. And a cone. Mission partners the s. P. D. Of both seen their vote shed drop significantly harnessed voter anger of refugees in the economic disparities that remain between the east and the west some 30 years after the fall of the button wall the results are seen as a major setback for the ruling federal coalition so just to take a closer look then at what these exit polls are showing at the moment in brandenburg the s. P. D. Managed to cling on to 1st place in the state gaining 27. 5 percent with the f. T. In 2nd place on 22. 5 percent just south in saxony its a similar picture there with the f. T. Securing 27. 00 and a half percent of the votes behind merkel c. D. U. Party on 32 percent a significant drop from the last election in 2014 will dominate cain is impulse sam joins us live now so dominic the 2 big mainstream parties managing to secure 1st place in the state elections but have seen a drop in vest share of the vote just tell us what this means. What it means merriam is that hundreds of thousands of people who 5 years ago decided to vote for the mainstream parties the christian democrats are the center right social democrats of the center left well theyve abandoned those parties and theyve gone to the extreme theyve gone to the far right party the alternative for Germany Party whose manifesto is pretty clear its very tough line on immigration on people whove come to this country as economic migrants and refugees and also a party which has been appealing to east germans people in these 2 states these 2 east german states saying that the revolution that toppled communism needed to be finished it needed changes as it were to the changes it needed to reflect the aspirations of ordinary east germans that was a message that definitely chimed with a substantial part of the electorate of these 2 states and these 2 states are heartland states for the respective parties the social democrats here in brandenburg in potsdam outside the the this is the state capital outside state parliament here and in saxony for the christian democrats the 2 parties have governed these states since the burden wall fell and now all of a sudden they find themselves just ahead of an extreme far right party. Thats right and germanys economy overall has been doing perhaps ok in relative terms compared to other countries in europe and around the world but the problem here is the disparity that exists inside the country. Yes thats right the point here is that east germans feel many germans that is feel that they have not been able to share in the benefits of the vibrant economy that the overall country represents certainly thats a feeling that the i have to tapped into the point here is that the 16 states of germany while there is a disparity in west germany where you tend to find much greater prosperity you find that the parties of the extreme left and the extreme right do not prosper so for example there was an opinion poll taken as a National Level just a couple of days ago which suggested that the f. T. Support across the entire country not just these 2 states is much lower than it has turned out to be here on sunday in these 2 states with the people voting there are lots of reasons for that the economic one well thats certainly something the air she was talking about but it also goes to a more cultural level too there are people who really feel that the democracy they thought they were rallying for that they were toppling communism for in 1809 hasnt delivered them what they hoped it would do and that they feel they cant speak out about it which is why they vote they have to be which is seen as a protest one of the thing to draw from this election is that if you look at those polls yes this is a bloody nose as it were for the mainstream parties but not that many people live in the states in the west of the country its much more populous and the extreme parties policy of extreme left and right to not prosper there so what the government the National Government takes from this we wait to see thank you very much from potsdam dominic cain.
