The final throes of campaigning are under way in an election which could shake the foundations of German politics. Voters in the state of Mecklenburg Vorpommern find themselves as the unlikely jury on what could be judgement day for Chancellor Angela Merkel and her controversial open door migration policy. Mrs Merkel's own constituency is in this state and she has been here several times campaigning over recent weeks - perhaps a sign of her own nerves ahead of the vote. Last year 1.3 million migrants came to Germany and Mrs Merkel was accused of encouraging Syrian refugees to make the perilous trek across Europe knowing Germany would welcome them.
