Green Party to Flex Muscles as Potential Merkel Allies After Election
The Local ^ | 25 September 2017

Posted on 09/25/2017 9:25:51 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Germany's Greens party, after years in opposition, has a shot of returning to power and promoting its leftist and pro-environment agenda as junior coalition partner to Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The party that grew out of the 1960s and 70s pacifist and anti-nuclear movement previously governed as a junior ally of the Social Democrats from 1998 to 2005 and forms part of 10 state governments.

Merkel, who won re-election with a weakened majority on Sunday, will need two partners to form the next government, allowing the Greens to flex their muscles as potential kingmakers.

It sounds like the result of the election is that Germany will be governed from farther to the left, and immigration will be increased.

How queer, US Green Party candidate Jill Stein defended North Korea’s nuclear weapons program and defended his right to “first strike” against Western allies.

NO NUKES and “nuclear disarmament” was a damn Communist lie.

Is that true? If yes, it is disgraceful.

What would you have her learn? The pro-immigration side now has more parliamentary power. So, should she have learned Germany needs new immigrants?

She claimed that she was going to try to regain voters from the right. This is not how you do that.

Green Party’s Jill Stein concerned about ‘demonization’ of North Korea
Fox News Politics ^ | August 1, 2017 | Jennifer G. Hickey

Former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has weighed in on North Korea’s ballistic missile tests and has a message for dictator Kim Jong-Un – It’s not you, it’s us.

In a series of media appearances, Stein has come to the defense of the rogue nation insisting they are victims of American propaganda and have been “cornered” into pursuing a nuclear weapons program.

“The demonization of North Korea is part of the run-up to regime change. It’s part of demonizing a government that we then want to exercise regime change on,” Stein said Sunday in an interview on MSNBC.

Taken aback by Stein’s defense of Kim Jong-Un’s aggression, host Alex Witt pointed out it was Pyongyang that had been launching nuclear tests. Stein quickly countered that they were only doing so because the U.S. had nukes first.....

It is time to clean up Germany.

There is toxic sludge being cleaned from the water two blocks from me.

You think I am not happy about that?

Merkel’s win tells me that Germany has a Voter Fraud Machine as well maintained as that which the DemocRATS have in this country.

Yah, if she forms a government by making a coalition with the Greenies you can stick a fork in the EU and call it done. It was doomed to fail from the get-go anyway so might as well get on with it.
