D’oh! Just saw this. Germans are pissed off too.

Angela Merkel’s party suffers drubbing in German state votes

The Christian Democrats lost two out of three regional states in the elections, according to exit polls

Angela Merkel was reeling from a series of election losses on Sunday that could be the most serious challenge she has faced to her power in Germany.

The vote, on what the German press called “Super Sunday”, was for regional parliaments in three of the country’s federal states.

But the timing meant that it was seen as a virtual referendum on Mrs Merkel’s controversial “open-door” refugee policy.

The results could seriously undermine the German chancellor as she tries to persuade EU leaders to agree to a deal with Turkey to resolve the migrant crisis.

Mrs Merkel’s Christian Democrat party (CDU) was beaten in its stronghold of Baden-Württemberg for the first time in more than 50 years, according to exit polls.
