A step forward in Germany

The German election results have just come through. In an ideal world, Germans would have voted Angela Merkel out of office, given her commitment to open borders. That didn't happen, but her position has considerably weakened and the nationalist AfD has entered the German parliament and has become the third largest party. Here is a comparison of the results of this election with the last one:



As you can see, Merkel's share of the vote has dropped to below one third and the AfD broke through to win 95 seats in the Bundestag. Merkel will now be forced to govern via an unstable coalition.

The hope is that the AfD continues to build its influence over the next few years. Even if it does not get enough seats to form a government of its own, the more political ground it wins, the more pressure there is on the other parties to adapt their policies to try to appeal to AfD voters.

  1. Looks like all minor parties gained ground.

  2. Every party on that chart except for the AfD and "Other" (total 18.4%) is Leftist or Left Liberal so the Germans are doomed.

      Germans have voted overwhelmingly to continue the destruction of their own country. It's what they want. And they're going to get it.

      At this point in time Western Europe is nothing more than a gigantic suicide cult.
