Chancellor Friedrich Merz … state election disaster.

GERMANY’S nationalist and anti-immigration AfD party is now holding 152 seats in the country’s federal parliament, the Bundestag, making it the largest opposition party. It also holds hundreds of seats in state assemblies.

The latest two state elections held this month left German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU), securing only 4.9 per cent of the vote in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the lowest vote recorded by the party in any German state since World War II and not enough to secure a seat.

AfD won 38.2%, up a massive 21%, the SPU (Germany’s version of the ALP) 35.5%, the more Leftist Die Linke party 6.5% and the Grune (Greens) 5.7%, again leaving AfD without an absolute majority.

These results are eerily similar to One Nation’s recent polling, with the AfD edging ahead of the major socialist party and the mainstream conservatives falling away.

The spectacular rise of AfD also parallels One Nation’s sweeping win of the by-election for the Labor stronghold of Secret Harbour in Western Australia and earlier in the year, the prize Coalition seat of Farrer in southern NSW.

AfD lead candidate Leif-Erik Holm claimed the right to form the next state government and said AfD would “naturally also talk to all the other parties” in an effort “to get things moving”.

Up until now, all the other German parties have refused to go into coalition with the AfD but if the party continues to be denied government, it will only further bolster the unstoppable rise of the AfD’s nationalist populism until it gains outright majorities at state and federal levels.

The rise of nationalist populist parties in Europe is sounding a dire warning for Australia’s so-called centre-right Liberals and centre-left Labor Party. The Labor Socilist Left and Greens might take some comfort in the fact that the far Left Die Linke party took first place in Berlin as CDU slumped.

As we reported previously, AfD previously won the largest share of votes in Saxony-Anhalt’s regional elections two weeks ago – securing 44% of the vote but still falling just short of reaching a full majority.

Merz described the result for his party as a “disaster”, yet refused to step back from his government’s “reform agenda” and insisting that Germany’s political and economic troubles rendered tough and potentially unpopular measures more urgent.

“What needs to be done now requires backbone, steadfastness, and patience,” Mr Merz said in a statement shortly after the exit polls were broadcast. “I will demonstrate these qualities as chairman of the CDU and, above all, as chancellor of our country.”

In Berlin, ARD’s exit poll projected the CDU to finish second with 20 per cent, behind the Left party on 24.5 per cent.

A media report said the CDU’s heavy defeat to the AfD in the September 6 election in Saxony-Anhalt “shocked many Germans who believed the country had built resilience against nationalism and ideas of racial superiority through post-war education and anti-persecution legislation.”

On Sunday, the AfD was projected to secure significant advances across both states, gathering 37 per cent in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and 15.7 per cent in Berlin, according to ARD, though it remains well short of forming a regional government.

The AfD’s national co-leader, Tino Chrupalla, told ZDF television that “the chancellor’s statement today really was more than feeble. He announced that he’d carry on as before, instead of finally drawing the consequences and resigning.”

Merz also stated that his government’s measures would serve as “the antidote to the poison of authoritarianism, which is penetrating ever deeper into our society as the fascination with authoritarianism grows”.

  1. Populations who allow their left-wing leaders to destroy them are a common if very weird phenomenon. Why do people allow themselves to be destroyed, I am thinking in particular of Victorians. We see Bent Carrott in Victoria is going more authoritarian, it seems the cops generally know what’s going on but they fail to act without political direction. So Bent Carrott has told them to start catching a few tobacconists and machete warriors and then the cops do it. Bent Carrott had the option to lower tobacco tax or even allow people to grow their own, which is by far the best solution. He could get on board with deporting the machete people and stopping new ones coming in, but instead he has left the settings how they are and gone “justifiably” authoritarian. In SA and Vic ( rust belt central ) they are injecting wild animals which are unable to run away, for example small penguins and an injured seal. This is because the Vic economy has been re-built on mRNA bio-labs. Residents of Victoria are also animals which are unable to run away. If they are mad enough to vote UnaParty I would say within 4 years ( socialist Cain-Kirner govt changed the terms from 3 years ) Victorians running skills will be tested by their mad politicians. Remember Victorians, all UnaParty components including Greens Party leaned towards injecting you, with ALP 100% on board. Greens party via Sarah Hanson-Young WEF asset is a Globalist scam designed to get you on CarbonCredits™ for their fake CO2 weather terror scam.
    If you all go ahead and vote Orange you will inadvertently bring about chaos as the establishment will strike back. There must be someone normal in the existing Vic parliament apart from just Moira Deeming. It’s up to Victorians to work out who, now they do not even seem to have a news website since Gumshoes has apparently taken itself to the USA and that was from a South African expat, Victorian complacency is really world leading and a perfect breeding ground for corrupt communists, I suggest, you will pay dearly !!!

  2. I asked the Super-intelligent bot if N’apollyon Bone Apart was left wing or right wing and on balance I would say he was clearly left wing pseudo nationalist, in other words a national socialist prototype, Pol Pot was also left wing full blown communist
    Super-intelligence:
    “Revolutionary/egalitarian elements: Napoleon preserved important principles from the French Revolution, including legal equality for men, abolition of many feudal privileges, careers based partly on merit, and the Code civil (Napoleonic Code).
    Authoritarian/conservative elements: He concentrated power in himself, restricted the press and political opposition, restored hereditary monarchy by making himself Emperor in 1804, and maintained a strongly hierarchical state.
    Religion: He reached a Concordat with the Catholic Church in 1801, restoring a formal relationship between church and state while keeping substantial state control.
    Economics: He wasn’t straightforwardly socialist or laissez-faire. His government protected property rights, supported commerce and infrastructure, and used >>significant state direction of the economy<<. [arrows by me]
    Nationalism: His rule helped spread both French nationalism and some of the legal/administrative ideas of the Revolution across Europe, while his empire was simultaneously based on French military dominance."

  3. The last remaining obstacle to global unity or death is Christian Truth. Now a minority in the ‘west’ as all are tempted by bitten apple in every hand. It’s a done deal, CCP new role model, all bases loaded.

  4. Hong Kong has been a colony for City of London Crown Finance (probably mainland China 2).
    Ditto for Oz in ‘26. Repeating its krown kabal komunizm and as in all dictatorships candidates are chosen by those in power handling the money. Fellow Aussies when you vote with pencils, as CCP stand next to ballot boxes destined for the bin, enjoy the sausage sizzles sold outside country halls.
    As we’re all sizzled under Liberal Labour coalition with Pauline now groomed for the fix. Spare me the bs. A simpleton’s view, they’re all masons in the lodge. So enjoy the footy, ubet playup and enjoy the beer as punters do.

  5. 6 political candidates for recent German elections ‘died suddenly’. 7 of the 16 were AfD.
    Police said ‘nothing to see here’, which translates in German to ‘scheiss reden’.

  6. The Germans are so badly scrambled the socialists think Hitler was right wing, they don’t know the biggest mass murderers of history, Mao Stalin and Hitler were all “left wing” like Greta Thunderbox and Elbow

  7. “Reflections on German and American Foreign Policy, 1933-1945”
    By Karl Otto Braun
    .
    “During my career as a German diplomat, I had three superiors. The first was Alfred Rosenberg, head of the Foreign Political Office of the National Socialist Party. The next was Foreign Minister Konstatin von Neurath, an “old school” conservative. The last was Joachim von Ribbentrop. After the war these men were condemned as criminals by the Allied Military Tribunal at Nuremberg [Jewish-Bolshevik Show Trial]. Rosenberg and von Ribbentrop were sentenced to “death by hanging.” I doubt if many Americans have had a similarly tragic experience with their superiors. The words “death by hanging” still resound in my ears and dreams since the moment I first heard them pronounced over the radio in late 1946 while I myself was an “automatic arrest” inmate in the Dachau concentration camp, then under U.S. Military Government control.”
    .
    “All former German officials with university degrees were subject to “automatic arrest” according to Morgenthau’s punitive directive JCS 1067, regardless of whether or not they had been members of the National Socialist Party. The infamous Morgenthau Plan was originally drawn up by Harry Dexter White, the right-hand man of U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau. White died in suspicious circumstances in 1948 after it was discovered by the U.S. government that he’d been a Soviet agent. Morgenthau’s program was thus indirectly drafted by Stalin!”

    When caught the JEWS always accuse their enemies of what the JEWS have done or are planning to do to their enemies. “Inversional accusatoire”.
    Thus they attempt to distract people away from awareness of the JEWS real crimes against humanity, and get the people blinded and immersed within a FOG of fantastical lies. THE HOLOHOAX. A Big Lie.
    THEREBY ALLOWING THE JEWS TO CONTINUE IN THEIR CRIMINALITY AND DISARMING ANY EFFECTIVE OPPOSITION= SELF-PRESERVATION of the non-Jewish peoples.
    .
    They don’t want these FACTS to be widely known:
    A- That the “Holocaust” story is a grossly exaggerated and fabricated BIG LIE.
    B- That the JEWS committed the greatest thefts, mass-murders, and enslavement in Russia and beyond, actually the greatest thefts and mass-murders in the history of the world.
    AND THEY’VE THUS FAR GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT.

  8. Whoever the AfD does deals with they should make sure the AfD remains the dominant party for whoever they align with will lie through their teeth to become friends to then betray them for whoever pays the most to their advantage .
