  2. you have to be braindead to rly support AfD, whos main agenda and approach were all about being as populist as it can be, while also playing just a little bit to the side of mass murderer to the east

    I mean, what the actual fuck, Germany?)

  3. Germans fuck again their own Country. Its Hard to live here

  5. Is it a direct SPD to AfD shift or is it more like “SPD lost centrists to CDU, CDU lost extremists to AfD” sort of thing? Because I can’t find any logic for first scenario.

  6. Wonder if they will want eastern teritories back ..

  7. That’s right after the France riots. Is there a similar poll from April-June to compare the numbers?

  9. You guys do coalition goverments where 51% of MPs need to be represented too, right? How are things looking like for potential partners? Here in Finland our right-wing populist party just formed a coalition with the moderate right pro-business party, social conservative Christian party and usually liberal Swedish speakers’ party who seem very confused. It’s been a bit of a shit-show with one minister already resignining due to edgy nazi jokes and the big question seems to be if the coalition will survive long enough for the populist party to fall apart like the last two times they got any power.

    Is the most likely combo something like AfD+CDU+a third party? Do you guys do minority cabibets?

  14. Did the 3rd reich didnt teach you a lesson ? You really want a fourth one ? Whats next ? Concentration camp reopening ?

  15. Using AfD’s baby blue to represent Union, and CDU’s traditional black to represent the AfD in the graph is surely one of the choices of all time.

    That aside, thankfully AfD has no coalition potential, and broad coalitions are a staple of German political culture, so any of the four mainstream parties could form a government together.

    Sadly, same can’t be said about Austria. The FPO, a party founded by a major-general of the SS, known for its blatant anti-slovene racist policies, russophilia, and so on, is currently polling as the no1 party, and it, unlike the AfD, has had a history of being in coalition governments even from its traditional place as the third biggest party during elections.

  16. Is there any evidence they would actually get this much support in an election? Because parties often poll higher while in opposition (at least in other countries)

  17. When people are having hard times, they may start to blame the current power holders for their problems and start to look for alternatives, especially if their concerns go unaddressed ie. issues that arise from mass immigration. Throw in some primal tribalism of “us vs. them” and you got a winning ticket in your hands come the next election. Same tribalism has been used since forever by many political movements, examples would be “Aryans vs. Subhumans” or “poor vs. rich”, and the outcomes have always been bad for everyone.

  18. Pretty sure when it’ll come to the election many people won’t vote for the AfD. People are mainly showing protest by picking the AfD in polls

  20. It will be like Belgium. 800 days without an government because no stable coalition could be done.

  21. Funnily enough a friend and I came up with the idea that thanks to the voting law reform made by the current government the AfD could theoretically end up as the largest party next election.

    Thanks to the CSU now needing 5% federally there is a decent chance they might not meet the threshold (5,2% during the 2021 election) thus dropping the total of CDU/CSU below the AfD.

    Added to that the CDU has generally been a great profiteer of the direct mandates which have lessened a bit in importance with the reform.
