Current Composition
After the elections of 6 May 2012, the composition of the Landtag is as follows:
| Party | Seats |
|---|---|
| Christian Democratic Union (CDU) | 22 |
| Social Democratic Party (SPD) | 22 |
| Green Party (Die Grünen) | 10 |
| Free Democratic Party (FDP) | 6 |
| Piraten Partei | 6 |
| South Schleswig Voter Federation (SSW) | 3 |
Elections are conducted using a proportional representation system, with a minimum of 5% vote share to receive any seats. This is not the case for the South Schleswig Voter Federation, representing the Danish and Frisian minorities in Schleswig-Holstein and thus being exempt from the 5% rule.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or composition:
“But human experience is usually paradoxical, that means incongruous with the phrases of current talk or even current philosophy.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Boswell, when he speaks of his Life of Johnson, calls it my magnum opus, but it may more properly be called his opera, for it is truly a composition founded on a true story, in which there is a hero with a number of subordinate characters, and an alternate succession of recitative and airs of various tone and effect, all however in delightful animation.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
