DIE LINKE&#8217;s dominance in the east is relativised by the\u00a0lower population density in that part of Germany, as this projection reveals very well (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.viewsoftheworld.net\/?p=668\" target=\"_self\">see here<\/a> for a conventional map of the election). In some constituencies in the west, SPD could manage to win a direct seat in parliament via the first vote, while the second vote went to CDU, mostly caused by strategic voters in favour of a more left politics and thus giving their first vote to the assumed more successful SPD candidate instead of their own favourite party.<br \/>\nHowever, further differences between the winners of first and second vote can not be seen from those maps.<br \/>\n<em>The content on this page has been created by Benjamin Hennig.
