Germany’s Tea Party Alternative for Deutschland wants out of the euro and an end to the bailouts.

Bonn, Germany — Even though Germany is the economic powerhouse of Europe, the issue of how much it should surrender its sovereignty and wealth to Europe has been pretty much a non-issue in its elections this coming Sunday.

But a new protest party challenging the wisdom of the euro and the bailouts Germany keeps paying to support is on the verge of breaking through the silence. Polls show Alternative for Deutschland (AfD), which wants Germany to withdraw from the euro but remain in the European Union, close to the support it needs to enter Parliament. The size of its vote could also determine whether Chancellor Angela Merkel can maintain her current coalition.

Wohooo, the conservatives and libertarians of europe got awake. UK has the UKIP and now germany has the AFD. Let's hope they'll get some seats in the house on sunday.

ping I can’t wait till the next election in France. The left is going to get flayed alive.

Don’t forget the Lega Norde and 5 Star Movements of Italy, as well as Geert Wilder’s party, the PVV in Denmark.

As well as in the current Norwegian elections, the Progress Party.

Possibly the National Front in France,

and I am sure there are several others as well.

(political parties that are truly conservative/libertarian) as opposed to what the media calls right (which may be left-wing/socialist even, and are truly NAZIS).
