A poll published by public broadcaster ZDF on Friday shows that both the major parties are likely to suffer major losses, while the small right-wing parties are on the rise.
The ZDF Politikbarometer poll shows Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats (CDU) on 36 percent support, with the Social Democrats (SPD) on a miserable 21.5 percent.
Germany’s two largest parties have been united in a “grand coalition” since 2013, a fact which appears to have led to an erosion in support for both of them.
If the ZDF figures are accurate, Merkel’s party will suffer a 5.5 percent drop in the vote. The SPD, meanwhile, will lose 4 percent of the vote share they held in 2013 and would suffer the worst result in their history. […]
Voters appear to be backing the smaller parties in the German political system in increasing numbers, with the pro-business and euroskeptic right set to storm into the Bundestag in large numbers after Sunday’s election. …

That’s a shame...
If AfD finishes 3rd, and I have seen polls showing them at 13, the grand coalition has to deal with them as the official opposition. That will expose Merkel’s weaknesses even further
That will expose Merkel’s weaknesses even further.
If anything, it will make her more determined to continue her policy of population replacement in Germany.
Flying home from GE in 1988, I sat next to an old German (WWII vet) who talked my ear off about American’s problems, especially with ghettos and minorities. He seemed proud because Germany had none of those problems. Guy must be spinning in his grave about now.
DEUTCHLAND UBER ALLES .....
The next coalition has only two options....both causing long-term issues:
CDU/CSU with the SPD. The present combination. Both parties believe this partnership is toxic because there is no real dividing line between the right-of-center and left-of-center. The combined vote tally will be around 58-percent...lowest since 1945.
CDU/CSU with the Green Party and FDP. To make this combination work....a fair amount of agreement has to be written down. Minister positions? You can figure that both the Greens and FDP will demand at least two minister slots each. The current diesel crisis makes this Green relationship difficult to figure out.
Either of these coalitions....likely make Merkel weaker over the next four years. She won’t run again, and there’s going to be an internal battle by at least five individuals in 2020 to replace her.
My German grandfather WWI and WWII vet would have had this idiot’s lunch. He was conscripted the second time when he as 60. He refused to join the Party and the family paid dearly for it. As for having none of those things, he was a blabbering idiot. Just ask the Romanian and Hungarian descents at the time, not to mention all of the Turks.
The latter he being the one you were talking to.
Nazi assertions aside it is kind of strange, given Germany’s past, that they so readily embrassed the biggest Jew haters in the world into their country.
But then again America embrassed a Muslim for President right after 9-11?
German men are geldings who don’t care if their women and children are raped. If their TV tells them that’s okay, then they submissively go along.
The crisis of their country is their men have no sense of freedom at all. They’re serfs of the state.
If Germans want to commit suicide they should just do so—voting for Merkel is just the slow road to get there.
Most interesting.
Their right wing parties are left of the Democrats....IMO...
Deutchland unter Allah.
Just going off the title of this thread...”Gee, I wonder why”
Not every European is suicidal, apparently.
The Middle East and Latin America are exporting their citizens.
God help us all.
“Deutchland unter Allah.”
Alexander Gauland, one of the leaders of the AfD said the reason he left the CSU was because Merkel forgot what conservatism was.
If Merkel wins, Islam will rule Germany.
