In fact the SPD also lost many votes and the real “winner” of this elections is Die Grünen–Party by gaining their best result ever, just like Die Linke.

With as many votes as the CDU (34,6%) the SPD (34,5%) − clearly none of them had the majority − had the worst result comparing to the last years but still pretended to have won the Elections, totally ignoring that it was the worst result since 1953.
Krafts optimistic statement after the NRW Elections:
"Liebe Freundinnen und Freunde,
liebe Genosssinen und Genossen,
das ist ein guter Tag für NRW-
Schwarz-Gelb ist abgewählt!"

The Red-Green-Coalition − the classic in NRW − decided that the voters gave them the right to govern although they had not enough seats to be the majority in the Landtag of NRW. So it was obvious to complement the Coalition with another party − the SPD tried to have negotiations with the other three parties (CDU/FDP/Linke) − and failed. As soon as the SPD agreed to discuss with the Linke, the FPD woke up and announced that they are no more interested in negotiations when SPD only thinks about meeting the Linke.
This defiance attitude led to isolation and again loosing sympathy to their voters.
More Kindergarten at the CDU:
Rüttgers did not agree to a Grand-Coalition and was not sure whether to continue as a politician.
The candidate Kraft from SPD also lost her sympathies by “Party-Hopping”:
She did not agree a Grand-Coalition nor a Coalition with the Linke.
FDP was not able to communicate nor to unify their direction/needs/statements.
Kraft announced a minority government of SPD/Grüne, then an oppostion government.
It took 6 weeks to decide − now it is official − for the SPD/Grüne to govern NRW in a minority government.

This "Blogger" is wondering how a governmentwould work without any leading party. Probably not the worst case for NRW.
