This Sunday's Lower Saxony regional election could bruise Chancellor Angela Merkel as she tries to forge her next federal coalition government. A new survey shows the northern state's governing Social Democrats ahead.

Lower Saxony conducts a state election tomorrow (the 15th).

Pre-election polls now show the center-left Social Democrats with a small lead over the center-right Christian Democrats, both in the low 30s. The Greens and the market-liberal Free Democrats are each about 9 or 10, populist-right Alternative for Germany about 8, and the socialist Left Party about 6.

Quite a few voters indicate that they are undecided, and the outcome of the election must be considered uncertain.

PS Also voting tomorrow is Austria, in a national election, with the center-right Austrian Peoples Party and populist-right Austrian Freedom Party neck-and-neck in the polls.

As far as Germany goes, it doesn’t really matter much who wins. None of the major parties care that their country is being overrun by Islamists. It’s a race to see who gets to turn the lights off.

But Austria, ah...that’s another matter.

Help me out then. What German political parties have set out as a goal ending illegal immigration, and deporting the illegals already there?

Austria has banned the burka. What major German party calls for that? And please mention only those parties that have a real chance at governing. Fringe parties don’t count.

By the way, I ask that from no position of smug superiority. Even America under Trump is not doing near enough.

I have no idea which group in the US had started the misinformation that Germany is being overrun by Islamocreeps. It’s simply not true. In fact it’s laughably ridiculous.

BTW - there is virtually zero illegal immigration into Germany; zero.

BTW - The current gov’t is expected to deport at least 1/2 of the aslymn seekers from the 2015 refugee tsunami. They are already deporting thousands every month.

soooo.... 1000 Muslims molesting women on the streets in one city on one night is just normal German living then? Okay.

crime remains lower in German big cities ghettos than in my lily white upper middle class suburb.
