Alternative for Germany (AfD) is projected to score a decisive victory in Saxony-Anhalt’s regional election, with exit polls putting the party on 44.5% and Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) a distant second on around 18.5%.
AfD lead candidate Ulrich Siegmund said the party was prepared to “extend a hand to all democratic forces that wish to pursue better policies,” while co-chair Alice Weidel left open the possibility of coalition negotiations, including potentially with the CDU if the AfD falls short of an outright majority. Outgoing regional leader and CDU candidate Sven Schulze conceded defeat, declaring “That’s democracy” and acknowledging that voters had delivered a message that should be heard in both Magdeburg and Berlin.
SPD co-leader and Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil likewise described the result as a “signal to Berlin,” but maintained that mainstream parties should preserve their longstanding refusal to cooperate with the AfD. AfD co-chair Tino Chrupalla argued the result showed voters were rejecting that political “firewall.”
Preliminary figures put the Left Party at 9.4%, the Greens at 8.9% and SPD at 8.2%, while the FDP appears set to lose its representation after receiving only 2.1%. The regional result comes amid broader difficulties for Merz’s federal coalition, with recent polling showing growing support for the AfD nationally and widespread dissatisfaction with the government.
Most of the mainstream German parties, including the CDU and weirdly the Green support the war in Ukraine and its on going supply. Its not hard to see why the AFD have done so well, the real question is, will they be that different? The fact the are willing to get into bed with the CDU is telling, as are other policies they are pursuing, such as even more limited accountability and increased arming of police, in Germany. Just as is the case in NZ, cops there basically investigate themselves, when things go pear shaped.
Strange bed partners?
Look at NZ
A gaggle of gays queers whatnots and misfits
Willing to fornicate shaft or indulge with any available leverage at their pleasure
Career criminals who only think in three your cycles interested only in their own self preservation and survival in not serving the country and the best interests of those who elected them

Ukraine a fools errand
The Afd Alternative for Germany (AfD) is a far-right, right-wing populist, and national conservative political party in Germany, founded on February 6, 2013
Originally established as an anti-euro and Eurosceptic movement by disaffected members of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the party has since radicalized its platform to focus on German nationalism, opposition to immigration, and Islamophobia
That being said the Afd represents a safety valve
Stand by for a dirty tricks below the belt campaign to dislodge and discredit them in order to retain the status quo
Two pressure cookers go insane

Those opposed will stoop to new lows and indecency s to block and dislodge them
Things are heating up in Germany or what was once Germany
Its not really far right, nor is it that radical. Look at their policies and they are, in truth not that removed from the mainstream. Re-arming Germany, a CDU policy is also theirs. They key departure is not supporting the war in Ukraine but then the question becomes, why support re-armament, rather than spending on other essentials?
