Results Germany's two historically dominant political parties, the Christian Democratic Union and the Social Democratic Party, suffered significant losses, to the benefit of smaller parties. Die Linke was the biggest beneficiary of this trend, having emerged as a party from the unification of the Party of Democratic Socialism and Labour and Social Justice – The Electoral Alternative in 2007.
