Resolved
NO

Current polling has the Union around 30%, AfD around 20%, SPD and the Greens around 15% and several smaller parties (FDP, BSW and the Left) near the 5% hurdle. All relevant parties excluded a coalition with the AfD. Most seem to expect Union+SPD. But depending on how many of the smaller parties make it into the Bundestag, Union+SPD might not gain a majority of seats and a coalition of three parties might be the only way to achieve a majority without the AfD.

Resolves Yes if, excluding the AfD, a coalition of at least three parties is necessary to reach a majority of seats in the next Bundestag.

Resolves No if two or less parties, excluding the AfD, can reach a majority of seats.

There doesn't need to be an actual coalition or government, what matters is the distribution of seats after the election. At least 316 seats are required for a majority.

The Union (CDU/CSU) count as one party.

@traders Resolved to the official result ("Vorläufiges amtliches Endergebnis").

As this is very close (BSW just 0.03% short of the 5% hurdle) and many Germans living abroad did not get their mail ballots in time: In case the election needs to be repeated (there were legal motions which have been declined), I'll ask Manifold to reopen the market.

@traders Clarifying edit, just in case: "At least 316 seats are required for a majority."
