National Elections in 2005?
Mr Rüttgers gave his first statement after the first extrapolations, translation courtesy by me:
A big surprise: The SPD or more exactly, Mr. Müntefering, the SPD's chairman, thinks about advancing the national election to this year's fall. Since they just lost the election in NRW, this is really a blowoff. Chancellor Schröder is fighting back."We knew the surveys were good, we mobilized our voters, 10,000 people alone in the NRW team, the halls were full, the seats were full, the Red-Green government has to go. And therefore I thank everybody, everybody at home and here in our branch office.
I know that the voters put confidence in us, gave us a mandate that NRW comes back, in the following five years with a coalition of the middle. To create security, for the unemployed, for the ones who are afraid to loose their work, for the women to help them to combine work and family - our policy will make NRW a state of a new chance. [...] If we continue to fight as we did in the past weeks, I'm confident we will suceed."
