The elections saw a heavy defeat for the ruling Social Democratic Party, which polled its lowest share of the vote since World War II. More than half of this loss, however, went to other parties of the left, particularly the Greens. The votes of the opposition conservative parties, the Christian Democratic Union and the Christian Social Union, also fell, though not as sharply as the SPD's. The liberal Free Democratic Party improved its vote and gained representation.

gollark: In that case I'd say you're doing it wrong. You can send a random bit of data, stick it in an associative array or whatever stupid thing it's called mapping it to whatever this secret is, and then API 2 can take the random data, and find the secret in that associative array.
gollark: Look, if the client can't read the data anyway, *you can just send and store random junk*.
gollark: (by you I mean whoever wrote your stuff)
gollark: So I guess it's not *its* fault you're using it stupidly and wrong.
gollark: Ah, says here it's something about using a slow key derivation function.
