Over the past ten years, the SPD gets fewer and fewer votes each election...with the losses going to smaller and lesser parties. Germany has six minor parties which likely get 40-percent of the national vote these days. Everyone can find something out there, which they tend to agree with. As for the Turks? I think they are mostly split up among the SPD and four of the minor parties.

I didn’t mean to imply that 90% voted for SPD, just that Turks vote for Socialist parties, the SPD and Greens in particular, and the Muslim Party (BIG).

I don’t think the CDU/CSU have ever even sponsored a Turkish candidate, have they?

I can only find one English language exit poll that mentions the Turks, and it claims 20% voted for CDU, which is a shock to me, if true.

And, I found another shock while researching - just 700,000 Turks are registered to vote in Germany. In contrast, there are 1.5 million German Turks who are registered to vote in Turkey!
