This also parallels the French situation where voter participation was
way down, too. In Saxony-Anhalt the turn-out was over 70% last time - so
a huge swing to abstention as well.

The SPD lost over half of it's actual votes, so the situation is even
more disastrous for the SPD than the voter share figures indicate.
