How much time do you spend every day cleaning your tongue after you've removed it from Trump, Putin and Musk's arses?

You are quite crude. One can only assume you think about such things a lot. You keep bringing these people up via your obsessive belief they're bringing about the end of the world when the reality is they're only bringing about the end of your world.

Exit polls show Germany's Christian Democrats are ahead in the national election, putting leader Friedrich Merz on track to be the next chancellor.

Germany's opposition conservatives won the national election on Sunday, putting leader Friedrich Merz on track to be the next chancellor, while the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) came in second on its best result to date, projected results showed.

Following a campaign marred by a series of violent attacks and interventions by the United States administration, the conservative CDU/CSU bloc won 28.7 per cent of the vote, followed by the AfD with 19.8 per cent, public broadcaster ZDF projected.

German election results explained in graphics – DW – 02/27/2025

The conservative CDU led by Friedrich Merz won Germany's 2025 election. Here's a look at the wins and losses, seats in parliament, voter demographics and possible coalition outcomes.

www.dw.com

Interesting breakdowns here. The Left (Linke) did immensely well basically taking Green and SPD voters. I actually commend their campaign and they had a pragmatic message rather than the aggressive threatening they normally do. Much less feral this time. People are clearly crying out for social help. Just everyday people extremely worried about slipping away.

Interesting to note voters under 44 overwhelmingly voted for AFD while The Linke got solid votes for 34 and under. The former are clearly sick of the traditional parties paying lip service to the drastic decrease in security in public. Too many young people are tired of being harassed, threatened and smothered by groups of foreign men in the country on dodgy pretences or being served deportation notices and allowed to roam the streets. Every German city and station has become a lawless hellhole with politicians undermining and ignoring police president concerns.

The latter have their social concerns and are livid that the new German minimum wage, which didn't exist a few years ago, has become an anchor on pay and also weighs down on professional salaries too. Changing jobs is the obvious way to start earning more but money is scarce with a lot of economic uncertainty and companies complaining they can't find anyone at their pittance rates.

The traditional parties have done solidly with the older cohort 'I've always voted for them'. These people are in utter denial about how shit the SPD is with Scholz as a lame duck but the opportunity to resurge now is there. Alas, many party leaders have stepped down today and the potential replacements at the head of the SPD and FDP are absolutely laughable.

I think we see with the 'far right' vote in some countries that a lot of people like to use those parties to send a message without necessarily supporting even half of their platform. Good example was what we saw in France where there was genuine concern in the lead up that le Penne could win the thing, even up to the exit polls saying 'look what i just did', but....... they didn't. Sure scared the fuck out of the establishment though, and that's what it's all about to these particular folks. People have their views, but I think one particular myth that needs to be dispelled is that the 'far right' vote is always necessarily a dumb voter. For sure, plenty of absolute fuckwits fill their ranks, but I also think plenty of the broader group knows exactly what it's doing and knows what buttons to press. They may frill themselves up like a peacock and talk muslims and gypsies, but plenty of them just want a fair fuckin wage and threatening a full hitler at least gets someone's attention. Further case in point is in the German election, we're essentially seeing East Germany light up on a map. People who either historically are or feel like they're second are highly motivated, organised, and when they know what to do to send them message, they unite.

I don't discount that there is some genuine nonsense to these parties, but when you're presented with a hopeless set of options where you have the choice of not voting, or voting for a party you know will piss off the right people and in full confidence that they'll never form a coalition, then why not? Personally not, I have not done that. I've chosen the not vote route the last couple of times. But I can see why some folks see it as a legit option.

I think we see with the 'far right' vote

Do you use the term "FAR RIGHT" to mean what it has meant for many decades before the Obama years.

Or do you use "FAR RIGHT" just like the Mainstream Leftist Media to refer to what used to be "centre-right" until the Leftist drifted so far far left that anyone who disagrees with them is branded a Far Right purveyor of "mizinformation".

I suspect you are using it in Leftist-speek.

you obviously missed the part where the leftist/globalist parties colluded by placing appropriate candidates in departments in the final round to ensure Le Pen was frozen out

the Le Pen voters didn't change their mind ffs

but you knew all this because you live next door right

Yep exactly right. Once again, the main parties and a lot of people doing well in society, and good on them if it was moral and ethical, refuse to listen to those who are truly struggling with social, mental and other disorders. You'd be amazed how smart those with low education are and it's diabolical that everyday people in decent trade professions are being called dumb. Those who do it are so blind at how shit the last coalition was across the board.

In turn it's a massive bunch of low to medium wage earners footing high proportion of the stupid self inflicted mayhem (energy, migration, infrastructure and to an extent, Ukraine) through social and tax deductions that are hurting. Germany was survivable on low wages due to low energy and food costs. A cheeseburger at McDonald's was a solid 99c from 05 to 2017. Since 2019 it's gone from 1,29 to 2,49.

There are plenty of people I know in their bubble who say voting in protest is a waste and it shouldn't be done to show the other parties you're frustrated. I beg to differ as it's reached a point that they've fobbed off genuine concerns since the early 2000s.

The AFD certainly has extreme elements and the party should have a zero tolerance policy on this and kick them out. They technically can't afford to with such members holding key state government positions. The catch 22 is if they kick out the claimed (there is substantial evidence) extreme members then they reveal it is true but also potentially shown they can clean up their act. If you look major party language from the early 90's, it's not too dissimilar to current AFD language now. Not to mention a lot of party members did have previous experience in other parties.

Prominent types are warning after this election that it's the final chance to get things into gear as the people have had a enough of broken promises and the decay across every aspect of German society.

Since 2020 we've pretty much had 4 crises? Covid, cost of living, war, energy. There's a degree of overlap between.

I know in the last 10 years of living here that in the last 5 years, all aspects of my economic life got abjectly worse. A 1 bedroom flat in a commie block is 15x an annual salary and the government doesn't think it's a good idea to reduce the time it takes to approve new dwelling construction down from 8 years because their constituents got fucking rich getting stuffed with COVID money, bought up all the houses and used the collateral for another 2 on top. The second reason is, shit you not, the Pirate party, which was the only party suggesting it was kind of shit but they shouldn't be heard on the topic because the leader of the party has dreadlocks. That's it.

And a whole bunch of people wonder why all these people who are struggling, see a Ukrainian refugee 3 years and counting still riding public transport for free, and think voting for the anti immigration Japanese guy's SPD party might be the only way to get their attention? Well, let's tease that option out a little more. When I moved here, I lived in a gypsy ghetto and on May Day, this city loved a good riot. They would come in from Slovakia, Poland, some of them might have even been czech defending 'nase zeme' by coming into the 'bronx' (actual nickname) and kick the shit out of any gypsy they could find. This is the core constituency of that party and I get genuinely nervous sitting next to them on a bus but i am encountering perfectly reasonable people, playing devil's advocate and saying 'why not vote for them this time? nobody will form a coalition with them and nobody else is listening'. As they say, never waste a good crisis.

And you must never forget that you voted for the parties aligned with a Leftist ideology that made all this happen, whether directly or indirectly.

You mentioned 4 things -- Covid, cost of living, war, energy. All those, in a roundabout way find their roots in Leftist ideology.

e.g. even if we assume no one could stop the Covid virus, nevertheless, research in 2024 and 2025 have proved that the lock-down method was useless, wearing masks was useless, and that the MRNA vaccines did not stop spread of the virus, and that natural immunity and early treatment were just as effective. i.e. there was no need to destroy the economies of the world through lockdowns and massive government spending which did nothing to stop the virus.

Piers Morgan admits he got it wrong about Covid vaccines

e.g. weak leadership in the West, particularly Biden, voted in by Leftists, allowed rampant tyrants like Putin, Iran and Xi to become emboldened.

e.g. cost of living is directly linked to higher energy prices, which are due to mass acceptance of climate change, and suppression of debate by experts on the other side.
