„The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) followed on 18%.“
They doubled their % from 9% last time and gained 18 seats? Would call them the biggest winner.
Greens lost 2 seats and CDU gained 14 seats compared to last elections.

To be fair, the „Greens“ in Baden-Württemberg (and many other state governments) are not much more than the CDU in a green disguise.
Greens around. For this week.
Green revolution incoming:)
One can hope as I do!
This is not that surprising. They won there for the past 15 years and have a reputation of maintaining policies the relatively wealthy and socially liberal but politically conservative population agree with.
It’s fascinating because parties to the right of the center (if you place the center between CDU and the Greens) won a slim majority and hold the most seats, but the CDU fumbled the bag against the Greens.
Mind you, they spent half a decade slandering this party non-stop on the level of federal politics.
It was conservatives with a green label vs conservatives.
I’d call it a narrow escape built on the CDU’s and their candidat’s fumbling.
The real problem is the gain of the far right, and the fact that, although more people went to vote than last time, the biggest winner off of the votes of those who didn’t vote before, is the far right.
Also, there is a marked difference in results regarding city vs rural, occupational status (worker, employee, official, unemployed) and education (highest degree).
Meaning that underprivileged demographics do not feel their concerns taken seriously. That is a problem that needs to change. The Greens can just manage to continue governing on the votes of well-off,urban, highly educated officials. I don’t see that as a good situation to just carry on as before.
Low income groups and rural people need to feel their lives getting better. Urgently. Bonus points if the greens manage that without scapegoating migrants or going towards police state. … it’s not as there aren’t serious propositions. For like decades, I don’t feel I need to repeat moderate-left talking points here.
