Voters Betrayed? Right Dominates Germany, But Left-Wing Govt Looms

While the right-wing parties have a clear majority and the Ssvereigntist AFD has skyrocketed to new heights, Milkethoast conservatives may prefer to enter the Angela Merkel-style coalition on the left.

Federal Reinstatement Officer in Berlin Published The country's new bundle (Parliament), and therefore the preliminary outcome of the next national election of the government on Monday morning. These results were confirmed and replaced the early exit polls on Sunday nights. Control of political rights in the ballot box.

As predicted, the legacy globalist conservative Christian Democrat (CDU & CSU, commonly referred to as CDU) came first with a 28.5% vote, winning 208 seats in 630 Congresses. In 2021, when they won 24.1% and 197 seats: apparently, their victory is considered hollow. They left rather than convinced many new voters.

More impressive is the massive rise of a sovereign alternative to Germany (AFD) right-wing, doubling the vote from 10.4% in 2021 to 20.8 today, with seat shares from 83 to 152 provisional count It's been lifted. Many extra legitimacy to the party – absolutely hated by the political establishment of legacy – especially as the outcome comes in elections with the highest voter turnout of the 21st century.

The Germans are 10 points higher than the recent federal elections in the country.

Between them, the CDU and AFD theoretically hold plenty of seats to make up a large portion of the 360 ​​seats easy and comfortable. This makes sense given that for outsiders they are both parties to rights, have some commonalities in their political platform and have the seats needed to move forward quickly. It may seem like it's in front of the road.

AFD Party co-leader Alice Weidely spoke on Monday morning, saying it was open to a coalition with the CDU, and invited them to begin a discussion. She said: “We are ready to join the government… our hands are being extended to implement the will of the people.”

But politics is by no means that simple. The mere presence of AFDs who fundamentally disagree with the German status quo rejects attitudes and government Angela's messellization, and, worst of all, wants to control the country's borders and deported migrants. It is considered an existential threat. As a result, all other major political parties in the country have worked in concerts for the past decade to adequately distance themselves from the government, no matter what else opposes.

This “firewall” or “cordon sanitia” is well known in Europe. It is used to protect the French Marine Le Pen's sovereigns from power and has been weaponized against Swedish populists. The question is whether these elections can be faced, as other options may not seem very attractive to the CDU leader and perhaps German next prime minister, Friedrich Merz. is.

A quirk in the German political system is that most often the party has to win 5% of the vote to enter Parliament. So, political party Panopley took part in the race, but in reality only a handful cut.

For example, for the co-poratist globalist liberal Liberal Democrats (FD), the Germans punished them for their involvement in unpopular governments. Given the thresholds they didn't meet, they went from 11.4%, 91 seats and Kingmaker position in 2021 to zero seats at 4.3%.

However, the true victim of the 5% threshold was the newly established Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), who missed just 0.03% of the seats, which won 4.97% in the preliminary results. Apart from the recount, this denied the new arrival of the novel by the German parliament. This is the strong anti-mass migration and the skeptical leftist populist party of the Ukrainian War.

The party founder, Wagenknecht, cited the irregularity of the availability of votes for all voters, and considered a legal review of the results, stating that “there is a question regarding the legal validity of the election results.” He says he is doing so. Report Diewelt. That too Proposed In German media, like the AFD, there was a deliberate conspiracy in German media to curb the party's narrative to elections, given that her party is a major threat to the political status quo. .

Just a few weeks ago, BSW saw relatively high in polls, seeing up to 8% and digging into AFD votes to do so. Please vote correctly on that issue. As BSW's sudden drop in interest on the last day of the election, AFD polls rose at the same rate, but many of its voters were also people who had never voted before.

Therefore, the various political parties on the left of Germany actually have parliamentary seats. The largest of these is the Left Social Democrat (SPD) of the Legacy Globalist, leading the resignation government, falling from first place to first place with 206 seats from 25.7% to 206 seats in 2021, and from first place with 16.4% and 120 seats. is.

Beyond that, the hard left of the Dai Linke (left) party, who grew at 8.8% from the old ruling Communist Party of the Soviet East Germany, and the radical Green, who is also a coalition partner of the resigning government, has grown. 11.6%.

If the firewall is kept and the CDU is determined not to partner with AFD to actually control, then in reality the only answer on the left is the “magnificent” coalition on the left. The combined central right CDU, central left SPD and left greens bring the government to 413 seats.

However, as Germany experienced an era of grand coalitions between the left and right during the Angela Merkel era, the government is ultimately dragged to the left – very left – junior partners are threats that can collapse at any time He holds an advanced hostage. If the government cannot indulge. Frankly, the Union government also indulges in the narrowly disguised tendency of the more leftists, as departures from election promises can be condemned to compromise the needs of the Union to the left, thus indulging in the narrowly disguised tendency of the central right parties. A license is provided.

After all, it was a time of the European immigration crisis.

In reality, he will be German Prime Minister Mertz. There are two options. Frozen AFD and face certain riots from so many leftists in Germany, calling them rude names in fashionable magazines or surrendering to status Quo and giving in to Germany almost almost Please abandon the same government they just voted for.

However, the alliance made up of three parties is unstable. The SNAP election was several months earlier than planned as a coalition of three leaving the office collapsed in a fierce argument. As Weidel warned on Sunday, Meltz's entry into the government with the left would be a victory for Pyrrhs and may not last four years of Congress.

She said: “The vote is clear. The German people want political change, they want black and blue [CDU-AfD] Union… They must work with leftist parties to explain to voters how to implement those promises. If they form the SPD and the Green, interim prime minister Mertz will not last for four years. ”

In the Netherlands, comparable election results last year saw pledges by all parties that would not partner with veteran anti-Islamization activist Geert Wilders. Perhaps in this new world where the AFD is identified as the second party in Germany, such earlier harsh words can be put aside.

The results seem to clearly indicate that the Germans voted to end the economic stagnation and open borders. Would the betrayal of voters' choices be willing to be angry for Berlin's politics?
