Conservatives poised to lead Germany; AfD second

The Hill, by Lauren Irwin

 

German conservative opposition leader Friedrich Merz appears poised to win the country’s election Sunday, while the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party places second despite making gains. Chancellor Olaf Scholz conceded defeat, calling the election results “bitter,” The Associated Press reported. Scholz’s Social Democratic Party placed third, behind the AfD, in its worst result in a national election in decades. With more than 200 constituencies’ results declared, Reuters reported that the conservative party earned 28.8 percent of the vote with the AfD trailing at 20.9 percent. The Social Democrats came in at third place at 16.3 percent. The AP noted that Germany, as the most populous country in the European Union, , will be key to the ongoing conversation in the region, particularly as it is Ukraine’s second-largest weapons supplier.

A sane result from a still-sane country.

“Moving to the Right” = Fascism.  
 

 

I think we are moving to the right of whatever the hell the modern day left is. 
 

It stands for nothing.  Well - it claims to stand for democracy and freedom - but wants the big government machine to control everything.  It has issued government surveillance of a political party in Germany that won over 20 percent of the vote - and wants it completely shut out of a coalition government.  
 

Because you see, democracy!   


 


The Left is a disaster.  Complete disaster.
