NATIONALISTS CONTINUE TO RISE IN GERMANY

Alternative for Germany (AfD), Germany's imperfect nationalist party which finished third in last year's inconclusive general election, is continuing to gain strength, and is now only two points behind the Social Democrats (SPD) according to the latest opinion poll.

In last year's general election, Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrat Union got 32.9% of the vote, compared to 20.5% for the SPD and 12.6% for the AfD. But now the AfD have nearly closed the 8% gap on the SPD, with the latest poll putting Merkel’s Christian Democrat Union on 30.5%, the SPD on 17% and AfD on 15%.

The poll by INSA, published on Monday (5th February), predicted that the Social Democrats and Christian Democratic Union would no longer be able to form a coalition government if elections were held now. 

This means that the recently agreed "Grand Coalition" between the two parties is already bleeding support and entering the electoral desert. This is ominous for the SPD. As we saw with the 2010-2015 Conservative/ Liberal Democrat coalition in the UK, it is the junior partner that usually takes the brunt of any fall in popularity.

Furthermore, the AfD looks set to gain popularity from being the main opposition party to a government composed of the two historically main parties. This suggests that the AfD's chances of overtaking the SPD and becoming the number 2 party in the near future are very good. 

This is tremendous progress for a party that was only founded in 2013, and which has been subjected to completely unfair treatment by the establishment and the German media, which has hysterically compared the AfD to Hitler, often using the most crude and vulgar imagery, such as this vile cartoon:

Yes, if you are at all concerned about mass Muslim migration and becoming a minority in a country with a "vibrant rape culture," then it can only mean one thing -- you want to commit a homosexual act on Adolf Hitler.

This is not unlike the image the BBC used recently to attack President Trump. Both of these images have the same shrill, frothing-at-the-mouth tone of the triggered leftist, involved in a perverse act of homosexualist projection.
