year = {2015},
note = {The outcome of the sixth election to the Saxonian Landtag led, like in
2004, to a coalition of strong Christian Democrats with weak Social
Democrats and with Stanislaw Tillich as Prime Minister of Saxony,
making him the longest-serving Premier of a federal state in Germany .
An arithmetically feasible black-green coalition failed because of the
Greens . The electorate showed a lack of interest in a change,
however, the CDU, the larger coalition party, was seen more favourably
than the liberal party (FDP), the smaller coalition party . During the
campaign all parties focused heavily on issues related to the state of
Saxony . While the Alternative for Germany (AfD) campaigned for the
first time and was elected straight into Parliament, neither the FDP
nor the NPD, after having been part of the state parliament for more
than a decade, won enough votes to continue their parliamentary work .
It is therefore possible that this election on the Land level might
prove to be a deci- sive caesura . [ZParl, vol . 46, no . 1, pp . 3 -
