How many terms has Merkel won the election?

Four, that’s historic.

Merkel had a coalition government last time and another coalition this time. Difference is last time was with the despised grand coalition partners SPD so this result is actually better for her.

Sorry if that is upsetting for you.

I guess we wiped out the nationalistic genes in WW2.

The Russians interfered with the election.

Blame Putin.

AFD came in third, which is good.

Part of that is due to Angela taking all of the most popular positions of the other parties as positions for her CDU party. Probably part of the drop in voter participation is due to the fact that there is little difference in the top three parties, so why vote? While it may have been political brilliance, I think it has led to muddled governance. I think Angela is considered “right wing” but what Germany considers right and what the US considers right are different. I read today that the AFD party, which at least in “immigration” is right wing, is led by lesbian.

Well, I suppose when the Muslims run the Volksdeutsche out of Germany, maybe the Poles will be kind and give them sanctuary.

Looks to me like we may as well give up on any part of Europe becoming normal again!

It will probably turn normal again but not for a long time. It took Spain 9 centuries to get rid of Islam the last time.

“20 years from now Germany will be no more.”

Probably way SOONER than that. Destroying their own country from within. Soon it will be equal to London and Paris: Muzzies running the show. For the life of me, I can’t understand what the Germans are thinking!

Interesting in all of those proposed coalition governments that none include AfD.

Yes, a "sanctuary." A nice little gated community called Auschwitz would be appropriate.

Traditional Germany will be gone in a lot less time than twenty years. Ten years at the most.

It would require a revolt by the populace to save itself, and that is not going to happen. The Germans have decided to march off en masse into historical oblivion. I guess it is to prove something to themselves. That they are not racist?

It's rigged.

Muslims were only allowed to vote three or four times.
