The AfD according to the BBC.

And what about you, naomi?

What do you think?

[Khandro]

I think they have some of the right policies, but I doubt they can get into power because of the way the government is formed in Germany.

The plight of the AfD are in fact an object lesson in what is wrong with proportional representation and Britain must stick to First Passed the Post elections.

How long will it take politicians to understand that their failure to address and understand the concerns of 'regular' citizens has driven them towards the welcoming arms of the fundamental right?

I think most people would prefer to have nothing to do with the majority of their proposed aims except there is a single issue which is reaching critical mass across Europe.

Politicians across the board, of every political leaning, need to join together to stand up for their citizens and curb the progress of those 'outside' things which threaten national security.

AfD will flourish, as will similar, organisations wherever people feel ignored. They are not the answer but they are an answer.

From my link:  //It may not have started out as a far-right party but it soon embraced far-right policies and many of its leaders have espoused far-right rhetoric.

AfD co-chairman Alexander Alexander Gauland has talked of fighting an "invasion of foreigners" and the party openly focuses on Islam and migration, seeing Islam as alien to German society. //

 

What do I think?  I think the term 'far right' is now specifically employed to demonise those who have valid reasons for objecting to uncontrolled immigration and more to the point, to creeping Islamification.  Such objections are not confined to people on the right of the political spectrum but come from across the board and that is why so-called far right groups are gaining momentum.  Europe is, I believe, swiftly approaching the point of no return - and that should concern everyone - immigrant and indigenous alike.

I have never voted UKIP or Reform but I, along with the majority of people I mix with feel there is no option but to vote Reform in any up and coming elections.

Lots of Germans must feel the same about the AFD.

I'd go along with the thought that due to the voting system there, it'd prove unlikely the AfD could get necessary legislation aims through any coalition compromise agreement. So, unless they get an outright win, (extremely unlikely), Germany aren't going to sort their issues any time soon.

Treat the public with disdain, two tiered justice and they will react in the end.  The right on Metropolitan liberal elites have a lot to answer for.

As for "far right", that seems to be a label used for anyone right of Marx.

[Khandro]

There are at least eight parties in Germany;

and trying to cobble together an acceptable coalition can take weeks of wrangling, even has taken and wasted months.

PR has been called the Auf Wiedersehen Pet, scenario. In that TV programme, they argued about which colour to paint the shed they voted on a PR system and ended up with the colour yellow, which no one had actually voted for !

you would assume the majority of germans are sick and tired of the migrant numbers, the crime and the cost, you would think all germans are liberal socialists, mein haus ist dein haus.

“PR has been called the Auf Wiedersehen Pet, scenario. In that TV programme, they argued about which colour to paint the shed they voted on a PR system and ended up with the colour yellow, which no one had actually voted for !”

Indeed.

As I’ve often said – everybody gets what nobody wants. A ridiculous state of affairs.
