Are any of them except Stoiber's blue team, CDU/CSU, right of center? I know Gree

Is it the blue guys against the rest? Maybe you could take a moment and explain this election to us?

The yellow ones are on our side too, the (classic) liberals (FDP)

Important: Keep in mind, that the percentages are not all saying. What counts is the number of seats every party gets.

If a party has less than 5%, they don't get any seats.

Also, the germans have two votes, one for their local candidate (kind of like a representative), and on for a political party (which as a slate of candidates).
