larry doesn't come out and say it but i suspect that germany won't know any peace or prosperity till they get the afd in charge which will be difficult as the state is opposing them all way round;

Elections, in theory, are supposed to create a mandate. If you placed a bet that Sunday’s elections in Germany would produce some clarity, I am sorry to report that you lost your money. The news headlines are reporting breathlessly that the Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) party, which is routinely referred to as a party of right-wing extremists, made a surprisingly strong showing.

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party made big gains in the German general election on Sunday, securing between 19.5 percent and 20 percent of the vote, according to exit polls. This marks a historic result for the right-wing party, which has continued to expand its influence in German politics.

“We have achieved a historic result,” AfD’s top candidate Alice Weidel told supporters at the party’s election night gathering in Berlin. She emphasized that the party is now “firmly anchored” in the country’s political landscape, reported BBC.

In contrast, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, leader of the Social Democrats (SPD), described the election results as “bitter” and acknowledged his party’s defeat. Exit polls indicate that the SPD placed third, securing 16-16.5 percent of the vote. Speaking in Berlin, Scholz stated, “We have to acknowledge we have lost the election… This result is worse, and I am responsible for that too.”...........more...........
