They still have to form a coalition with other parties to get over 50% to form a ruling coalition.
If they don’t ally with either of the Russian-backed anti-Ukraine parties AFD (right) and BSW (left), it’ll take just about everyone else to get over 50%
It’s worse than that. The numbers I originally posted was only the exit poll. Now we have a preliminary result and it’s not looking good.

For those unaware of German politics, the S is for decoration purposes only, because “Party of Germany” sounds silly.
