Angela Merkel Loses Support, But Wins Election
PJ Media ^ | 09-24-2017 | Michael van der Galien

Posted on 09/24/2017 11:10:59 AM PDT by Michael van der Galien

Although Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats have lost 9 percent compared to the last elections, her party has yet again become the largest party in Germany's parliament today. Merkel's CDU won 32.5 percent of the vote. That's significantly less than four years ago, but because Germany's electorate is more divided than ever before, it's enough to make her chancellor once more.

Well, if she's able to form a coalition with the liberal Free Democrats and the Greens, that is, who finished the day with respectively 10.5 and 9.4 percent of the vote.

For Merkel, the results will leave a bitter taste in her mouth; not only because she has lost support and now needs other parties to form a coalition government, but also because she now has a competitor to her right. For the first time in decades, a rightwing populist party has won enough votes to get into the Bundestag. Alternative für Deutschland, which is routinely depicted as 'racist' in American media, won 13.5 percent of the vote making AfD Germany's third largest party.

The second largest party is, who else?, the social democrats of the SPD. However, if Merkel is somewhat disappointed, today truly was a day from hell for the SPD and its leader Martin Schulz. The SPD ended the day with a mere 20.2 percent of the vote. That's the worst result for the social democrats since the end of the Second World War. As a result, Schulz has already announced that he is not willing to form a coalition with Merkel.

Today's results are a clear sign that German voters are just about fed up with Merkel's (and Schulz's) immigration policy.

Too bad the AfD has a bizarro lesbo as its leader. They need a strong Alpha Male like Trump who can effectively take on Merkel

Muslims, vote early and often for Angela. Then later we can gang rape her or behead her, whichever is more fun.

Four more years of being overrun and subverted, unless reality smacks them hard enough to wake up, or Trump fixes the problem globally.

May she meet the same end as her forebear who previously ran Germany straight into the ground, or like the other fellow that ran Italy into the ground...

German men are pathetic, gelded cuckholds.

Or the voting is actually hacked/rigged

Controlled opposition isn’t an accident. The AfD has such a leader to ensure they never go anywhere.

Bring back all our troops who are stationed in Germany, and re-deploy them to the U.S.-Mexican border.

or brussels or stockholm they are invading every area of these cities. Look at Londonistan. Acid and terrorist attacks and no uproar, no demand for anyone to step down, no large scale demos. They are drugged and surrendering more everyday.
