而德国自由民主党作为这场大选的真正胜利者，不但得票率跃升到了14.5 % ， 巩固了议会中的地位，并将左右新联合政府的形态。 作为经典德国自由主义的代表，该党在大选中承诺减税并减少国家对经济的干预，以刺激经济增长并帮助德国走出经济危机的漩涡。
The real victor of the campaign, with a vote that jumped up to 14.5% and a position in parliament that will determine the shape of the new coalition government, was the heir of classic German liberalism, the FDP.  It campaigned on a promise of tax reduction and of deregulation in order to stimulate the economic growth that Germany needs to get out of the economic crisis.
