    No, but I think it's around 100 MPs. But considering the Islamic shithole Germany's become I can't believe it's only 13.5%.

    Far away from the truth.

    The progressive ideology is feminine, beta, and weak in every aspect. It is only natural that an outside alpha ideology will consume it.

    The shame lies with the strong men of Europe who failed themselves and their country.

    The regressive Alt Right ideology is simply weak, weak, weak. The alpha ideology is that of mainstream America, which eschews communist and fascist belief systems.

    LMAO...What utter nonsense. I guess that reporting the news now constitutes a meltdown for those with a snowflake mentality.
    Get a grip.

    The dotards prattling on about Germany can't even find it on a map, so don't waste your time trying to educate them.

    It sure didn't take long for the utterly uninformed partisans to rear their head in this thread.

    But, tell me with your infinite knowledge about Germany, who should have won the election instead?

    Merkel is a sellout. She only does her masters bidding which is to make Germany an Islamic state.

    I have German ancestry (Bavaria), but I don't keep up with German politics.

    I don't know why anyone would vote for a candidate who wants to pump as many third-worlders into Germany as possible.

    So you don't keep up with German politics, but you know that Berlin looks like a Muslim country? I thought so.

    I wish it were different but, sadly, this forum has taught me otherwise.



    The reason you say nonsense like...
    is because...
    ...and therefore you simply don't realize how wrong you are.

    Politely, that is a ignorant and cartoonish statement.

    The tone of the UK broadcast media was very much panic mode yesterday.

    For anyone interested, here are the changes, greatest positive change down to greatest negative:

    AFD (Alternative For Germany) - 12.6%, up from 4.7%. Increase 7.9%.
    FDP (Free Democrat Party) - 10.7%, up from 4.8%. Increase 5.9%.
    Left - 9.2%. Very small gains.
    Greens - 8.9%. Very small gains.
    SPD (Social Democrat Party) - 20.5%, down from 25.7%. Loss 5.2%.

    and the booby prize goes to Mad Madam Merkel, aka Alzheimer's Angela:

    CDU (Christian Democrat party) - 33%, down from 41.5%. Loss 8.5%.

    So Germany's goal should be to pump in as many third-worlders as they can?

    How many? 5 million? 20 million?

    I didn't say any of that.
    Why don't you familiarize yourself with real facts first before using bumper sticker rhetoric and replying to things you think someone has said.
    You seem to be one of those folks on this forum who doesn't understand that the massive influx from 2015 is not a process that has been going on since then.

    Got a friend in Germany that emailed me this immediately after he heard the results.

    "AfD got into the Bundestag ...and they do so as 3rd strongest force! In eastern German states the AfD has reached 2nd strongest position!"

    AfD is a far right Conservative movement and they've been steadily picking up while the far left has been caving immensely.

    The AfD is the far right NATIONALIST party that the US far right wished they had. They are stopping short of a flat out Nazi platform, although some party officials are Nazis.

    The CDU, the conservative party, WILL NOT form a coalition with the AfD, the Nazi stench is too strong. This probably leaves a coalition with the FDP (libertarians) and the Green party. We'll see how that works.

    Note that in the US, the GOP is already split into the moderate conservatives (similar to the CDU in Germany), and the freedom caucus, hard right guys. They are just missing the nationalist part, which already exists in the electorate but has no official party platform. Once the nationalist GOPers come out of the woodwork, the party will be too split up to govern effectively.

    We already see this problem with the far right holding the GOP hostage and, thus, nothing gets done in congress.

    the AfD is a wannabee Nazi party but does not have the guts to declare it to the world

    If it ever rises up, the rest of Germany will smash it down.

    I can't speak too much about German politics but my friend and I have extremely similar views and he's strongly involved in the AfD and there's absolutely nothing Nazi about him, or his family. I believe that's just another wasteful talking point like the left call the right in American politics.

    All I know, by talking to him almost daily, is that Merkel (as much as he doesn't like her) does NOT have open borders, and they've been deporting more and more refugees or putting them behind chain link and razor wire. Contrary to what we keep hearing here in America, she's doing all she can about keeping illegals and refugees out or at bay. As a Bundespolizei, he's arrested and deported quite a few himself.

    Then ask you friend why he is allying with people he knows have the whiff of the Nazis on them.

    Whatever man. You're clueless on both American AND German politics. AfD is the 2nd strongest party in Eastern Germany and 3rd overall.
