Alternative for Germany , or AfD , has doubled its support in just four years to 20.8% .

It has spread out from its support base in the east to become the second biggest political force in parliament.

Outgoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz's SPD had its worst performance in decades , only sharing 16.4% of the vote.

Die Linke's viral videos helped secure a quarter of the 18 -24 vote.

Heidi Reichinnek went viral after she gave a speech defending the firewall against the AfD.

Alice Weidel was the biggest hit on social media during the election.

For the over-35s it was the Christian Democrats who won out, and more men than women.
