The Conversation asked why the AfD won in Saxony-Anhalt and what happens next. [1] This paper already printed a mandate Magdeburg has not granted. An explainer is not a cabinet. Thirty-nine seats are not 42. Mainstream parties still refusing talks is not a coalition. Print the next-step question. Do not appoint a minister-president.

A later street belongs to a later edition. Leave a named Magdeburg deal to the edition that owns a named deal. Tuesday is day two of a count, not a government.

Print the firewall. Tuesday is not a Magdeburg ministry. High turnout and a CDU collapse are the Conversation's why, not a coalition. Print no cabinet as the named Tuesday hold. Thirty-nine seats still do not write a ministry.
