Bundestag election 2017: three parties fail to reach an agreement to form a coalition. Questions arise over a beer in the evening: Have you read the election manifestos? What exactly does it actually say? Where and how much do the individual parties actually differ? We quickly came up with the idea of comparing the election manifestos typographically. The three Jamaica parties, CDU/CSU, the Green party, and the FDP, were placed next to each other, and the topics of work, refugees, and digitalization were highlighted with colored dots. Incidentally, it became clear that the Green party has the longest election manifesto and the CDU a surprisingly short one.
