What does this say about the quality of German engineering if her people are so stupid?
She’s holding her figurative embryo of invasion
Those numbers mean that the SPD, led by Martin Schulz, has fallen to a new post-World War Two low.
The party's deputy leader, Manuela Schwesig, said the result was a heavy defeat that meant the party would go into opposition, putting an end to the current coalition with Mrs Merkel.
She won't be able to count on the Socialists for a coalition. She won't have a coalition with Afd. Therefore she has to scrape together a coalition from what is left.
Mrs Merkel will now have to search for new coalition partners - a process that could take months.

He said, "Attack the East Germans."
The reporter asked, "Why?"
The officer replied, "Business before pleasure."
Both CDU and SPD lost votes because of being in a grand coalition together. Therefor they were unable to do battle to win votes. SPD because of this has now said they will not enter another grand coalition.
CDU said they will never join with AfD.
That leaves the Libertarians and the Greens. Called the Jamaica coalition. Which is my preferred, coalition wise.
Who doesn’t want cleaner air and water? It’s a matter of balance.
About time we took control of environment politics instead of conceding it to the Left. At least in Germany.
If you add the CDU (right of center) and SPD (left of center)....their numbers are around 53.5 percent. Lowest for the combined parties since 1945. If you go back to the 1960s and 1970s....they usually got between 75 and 85 percent.
Like invading Poland? Reoccupying the Ruhr?

Sick demon worshippers!
“Like invading Poland? Reoccupying the Ruhr? “
I didn’t want to say anti-Muslim, ‘cause that’s so Islamophobic. /s By broader platform, I meant the other issues that Germans are concerned about. For example, retirement age, retirement pay, and how “green” things are. Also, there’s wer’reallgonnadie hysteria about diesel cars, which probably affects 40% of Germany’s cars. It’s a huge issue with cities fighting to ban them entirely.
Germany needs real leadership, which it hasn’t seen in decades.
That’s unfortunate. The Germans have endorsed her bringing of millions of muzzies into Germany, and have shown they want more. Bring them in! let them rape the women and slice the mens’ necks. The German people have spoken.
At some point, when Merkel is no longer useful, look for her head on a stick.
Some people only learn the hard way. Germany hasnt learned any way.
“How many terms has Merkel won the election?
Four, that’s historic”
Even Adolph Hitler only lasted 12 years.
