390 to 72. 84.4% voted for it. Yeah, I know it's just the lower house, the point is the huge margin. I don't know German politics at all, but you couldn't get 85% of the US Congress to agree on anything that was even remotely controversial. Not even close. So this sounds like a done deal to me.

Another coat of lipstick, some new fishnet stockings - hey this pig is pretty again. Wow.
