Would red-black-orange be viable, if they make a majority?

[Zanza]

Parties below five percent do not get into parliament*, so the FW ("Freie Wähler") will not get any seats for their 3%.

* Exceptions apply: If you win three constituency seats, you get your percentage share of seats. Or if you are the Danish minority party in Schleswig-Holstein.

[Sheilbh]

The CSU must be absolutely livid at the way this is going (so far).

It's Hip(e)zig it seems. LIpsian hipsters are definitively a plague, if one is to believe the locals. Not sure about Dresden with PEGIDA.
