_sab8390Commenting on the exit pols and first results of the federal elections in Germany, the President of the ALDE Party Sir Graham Watson MEP said: "This election outcome is a bitter blow for a party which has worked so hard to keep Germany's economy on track and to safeguard the freedoms of its citizens. The FDP will be much missed in government. But Liberalism is often most rejected when it is most needed.

"The FDP are experienced survivors and they will be back, both at federal level and in Hesse. The economic recessions of the last century did not kill Liberalism, and nor will the current one."
"However the FDP must now think long and hard about how it can regain the initiative with Germany's citizens by offering a broader-based menu of Liberal answers for the challenges the country faces."
