Wahlergebnis Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
Die Landtagswahlen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern waren eine Nebenwahl. Nur rund 1,4 Millionen Wähler wurden an die Wahlurne gerufen. Nur 51 Prozent beteiligten sich an der Stimmabgabe. Immer weniger entscheiden damit über immer mehr. Die Wahlbeteiligung war eine Reaktion auf die Stimmung im Land. Große Koalitionen (SPD/CDU) lähmen systematisch den Parteienwettbewerb.

Die CDU verlor 5,7 Prozentpunkte, hingegen steigerte sich die SPD um 5,5 Prozentpunkte. Vermutlich bleibt somit alles beim Alten in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
