Poll: Germans want Merkel to remain as chancellor

There are crises everywhere you look these days: from the Middle East, with its constant political turmoil; to Turkey, sliding toward autocracy under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan; to the US, where President Donald Trump appears to question the shared values of the West on a daily basis. Perhaps this is why Germans are apparently so happy to have Angela Merkel as their chancellor.

In a new study conducted by polling institute infratest-dimap, in conjunction with German public broadcaster ARD, the leader of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) earned her best approval rating since the beginning of the refugee crisis in the fall of 2015.

The chancellor’s popularity had plummeted after she welcomed nearly 900,000 asylum seekers — most of them from Syria and Afghanistan — into Germany.

But now, 64 percent of those surveyed say there are satifisfied with the job Merkel has been doing as chancellor, making her the most popular politician in the country. […]

The right-wing populist party Alternative for Germany (AfD), which has pushed for a radical change in Germany’s immigration policy, earned 9 percent in the new poll. The party is almost certain to gain seats in the Bundestag. However, their popularity is not nearly as strong as those of other populist parties in Europe, like the National Front in France, whose frontrunner, Marine Le Pen, garnered nearly 40 percent of votes in the second round of the presidential election. …

The elites in the EU have not abandoned that approach. They want the appearance of chaos, but they have something up their sleeves.

To say `goodbye’ in German is “auf wiedersehen” (’til we meet again).

“Lebe wohl” means `farewell’ and is a final salute usually spoken at a funeral.

I wanted to say, “Deutschland, Du bist fertig!” (Germany, you’re done for!).

Or even, “Das ist das Ende!” Self explanatory.

How many germans know that the boats that are working 24/7 to pick up ‘refugees’ right off the coast of Libya are owned, operated and/or funded by Germany?

Nope. Most Germans aren’t interested in religion at all. Neither christianity nor islam. That is not such a big thing like in the US.
