... Why's there so much AFD support on here -_- They're the definition of a 1-issue party, why the hell would you want them to *win* the election?

Woah, the support for AfD here is unexpectedly high. Also SPD, this is a surprise for me. The somewhat high support for FDP was to expect with the demographic and political stances here on this site. But AfD, no clue how this comes.

And I'm *really* grateful that this isn't representative of what the German public will vote for.



Bet with PeH: 

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

 

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

'1-issue' party's are just as valid as any others ... 

I personally hope AfD achieves at least 20% just to spite the whole world ...

I understood "who do you want to win" to be "who do you want to form a government". The AFD hasn't even got a bloody *tax plan* released yet.

Looking at that result... I guess CDU, SPD, Linke and FDP would form a coalition, in this case? That *would* kind of be hilarious, though...

i'm ignorant on Merkel. Can I hear thoughts about her? Only ones I've seen are from the cesspool(s) known as the RT comment section

Well, she doesn't make much wrong, because she has a wait and see approach. Her decisions mostly base on what stabilizes her power. So this is often popular opinions she agrees with. Most clearly this was shown in the question of nuclear power plants. The previous government had made a law, that germany leaves step by step nuclear power. Merkel was revising that so that no end dates for the nuclear power plants were made (mind you: even then no new plants were in discussion). When came Fukushima and Merkel revised her stance again and a plan for leaving nuclear power was remade (although slightly differently than before).

It's fine keeping the same people in power for a long time when you know they're not extremist morons.

That said I did not vote because the party I wanted to vote for isn't on my ballot. And as usual I will still be satisfied with the result and will never complain about the people in power because I never had to.

Except no one will form a coaltion with the Linke. So it will be the big coalition of CDU and SPD as usual..

The CDU/CSU will probably crush this election.
The AfD will sway some poor souls as well, but they still won't be a major political force.
