A far-left party has won the Berlin election, running on a pledge to nationalise housing in the German capital. The result points to strong voter support for radical measures against rising rents and housing shortages in Berlin, and is likely to spark debate in Germany over public ownership of residential property and the future direction of the city's housing policy.
