How long do you think merkel has got left as chancellor?
Surely the other parties are getting very fed up & will form different coalition
Didn’t it take several months after the German elections to form a government
And all the internal strife in the country with migrants can’t be helping her.
The (watered-down SPD-influenced) CDU's strangehold on German politics will not be broken by the AFD after 65 years of brainwashing the electorate across several generations into believing there's something inherently sinful or inappropriate about ethnic Germans reclaiming their rightful place in history (not just economically) and passing some common-sense immigration reforms as well as cancelling any future plans to absorb more refugees when the country lacks the space to accommodate its current population. While that argument has been poisoned by the Nazis' claim of a similar issue 80 years ago, the reality is Germany now truly does have a dearth of room due to perhaps twice the population it had in the 1930s. Extreme leftist indoctrination from kindergarten to the university level, in all the major media outlets, and through rigorous censorship laws has stifled any meaningful alternative to the current situation, though clearly these protests - which the police broke up yesterday, in a follow-up to the original story - show that cracks are forming in the foundations of this shaky edifice Merkel is still leading. I give her at least 5 more years.
The ultimate solution for European countries is to follow the UK's example and leave Europe. It absolutely cannot be done by fiat or Presidential decrees; there must be a referendum voted on by the people, and if it's a majority result, then the leaders either have to respect the wishes of their countrymen or face civil unrest, possibly leading to economic stagnation. (I don't believe civil wars are any longer possible in White western nations in our current time, for a number of reasons.)
The EU has proven itself unwieldy and incapable of taking account of the individual needs of its member-states. It has also placed a crushing burden on those same states to economically prop up failing members like Greece while also being hamstrung by refugee absorption quotas forced upon them by politicians in Brussels. The ultimate agenda is the elimination of the European identity, and by extension its ethnic groups, as pray_4_war frequently mentions when discussing World War II. Same program, just a different method of doing it.
Germany has to leave Europe, return to its own currency like Norway and once and for all limit immigration to people who speak German, know its history, are sponsored by a citizen of adequate moral character, and have no criminal offenses or terrorist affiliations. That is the policy the United States currently uses to screen westerners wishing to immigrate there permanently, though it makes exceptions for those applying for asylum, crossing the border illegally, or hailing from Muslim countries on good terms with the U.S., to the delight of the American Right, as it gives them red meat for their base and campaign speech fodder for their various elected officials running for office and of course the current President.
