It's the stagnation and contempt that traditional political party's have displayed that has driven the public across the world to populism.

In the UK, this had its roots at the end of the thatcher era, so 40+ years ago. It's been grim ever since

No Nicky
the AfD is all over the EU.

It is not about Wars
it is keeping illegal migrants out


Get up to date............

okay then fair enough, Germany is overrun by migrants but as long as they only deport the illegal migrants and not break the Ankara-Berlin treaty

i'm willing to give the AfD a chance, i understand them honestly, to protect their own culture, their own language


and ok i'll still watch german tv shows, everyone is entitled to support whichever political party they want, we live in a free world tbh


as long as they don't start another world war, they're fine

[Nicky91]

for example Australia, also has quite some migrants, but all of those are legally in the country

never any illegal migrant over there to be seen, we all need as strict border policies as the aussies have

it does break my heart in saying this that we need to stop those illegal migrants, but we cannot let countries get overcrowded because of this either


idk what is an good alternative for them, because we also cannot send them back to their own countries, those who have fled from wars, dictatorships (in Syria, Sudan to name couple of problematic nations)

yes lacklustre border control ruined Britain


and compared to Australia, Britain is easier to reach from another country



while Australia has many enormous seas (impossible to cross with small boats)

They're called AFD.

You keep calling them "far-right AFD"

Why?

Polling companies and experts are starting to pick through the data from Sunday's votes.

One notable trend was young voters aged 18-29 giving the AfD more support than any other party in both states.

According to a group called Forschungsgruppe Wahlen (elections research group), 36% of 18-29-year-old's voted for the AfD in Thuringia. The Christian Democrats and the Left Party were tied for second with 13%.

In Saxony, 30% of young voters plumped for the AfD, versus 15% for the Christian Democrats next.

However, it is worth noting that voter turnout in this age band is consistently lower than with older people, so it's also typically the cohort with the smallest sample of eligible voters casting any ballot at all.

Pollster Forsa, meanwhile, drew attention to what a small share of the voting population the AfD needed to be able to claim either first place or a close second after the vote.

In both states, fewer than 25% of eligible voters chose the AfD, with more than 75% either supporting another party or not voting.

Turnout was 62.6% in Thuringia, a 2.3% increase on 2019, and 75% in Saxony, up 8% on the previous state election.
