@chjara yes. they had 14 days to get the absolute majority. afterwards they would have options to either vote with simple majority or call for new elections.
this is the first time a chancellor lost the first vote. people see it as a sign he will be a very weak chancellor. his coalitition has 328 people attending and they needed 316 votes. in the first round he got 310. so 18 of his own people did not vote for him

democracy is when the leader is selected by margin of error around 50% btw

There is reasons for it being only an absolute majority. Everything else would just be dumb tbh and lead to problems quick

@stefan @chjara it's less than 50% of MPs even, and this "majority" is determined by literally 10k of votes separating second Nazi party from 5% barrier. Not that dissimilar to USA.
(What _is_ dissimilar is that these 10k votes would not flip the outcome but only change it; instead of Union+SPD trying to get enough MPs to make Merz a chancellor, Union+SPD+Greens would have a very comfortable number of MPs to make Merz a chancellor at first attempt.)
