This Fourth Turning continues to intensify across the world. It seems more and more Germans don’t want the Muslim hordes invading their country. Merkel’s time is growing short. A war between left wingers and right wingers is brewing across the globe.
Chancellor Angela Merkel has suffered a dramatic setback in German regional elections as voters backed rightwing populist forces in protest at her contentious refugee policies.
The anti-immigration Alternative für Deutschland party looked set to beat forecasts in all regions voting on Sunday — and score the biggest electoral success for the populist right since the rebirth of German democracy after the second world war.
The domestic setback comes as Ms Merkel is struggling abroad, battling to secure EU partners’ support for a controversial deal with Turkey to staunch the migrant inflows.
According to exit polls, the AfD won 23 per cent of the vote in the depressed eastern region of Saxony-Anhalt, where the radical right has long been active. But it also exceeded expectations in wealthy western Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate, scoring 12.5 per cent and 11 per cent, respectively.
The AfD mobilised droves of former non-voters, boosting voter participation as high as 72 per cent, far above normal levels for regional polls — a sign of how deeply the refugee crisis is shaking Germany.
Celebrating her success, Frauke Petry, the AfD’s co-leader, said: “We have fundamental problems in Germany which have led to this election result.”
Ms Merkel’s CDU failed in its hopes of winning back power in Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate, two former bastions, and was left struggling to form a government in Saxony-Anhalt.
The social democrats, Ms Merkel’s coalition partners, who have strongly backed her refugee policies, fared even worse, being driven into fourth place behind the AfD, in Baden-Württemberg and Sachsen-Anhalt. The SPD salvaged a little battered pride in Rhineland-Palatinate, where it narrowly retained power, beating off a CDU challenge led by Julia Klöckner, a rising political star.
The crumb of comfort for Ms Merkel is that all three CDU lead candidates distanced themselves from the chancellor during the campaign by backing tougher refugee policies, such as stronger German border controls. Their electoral setbacks may help Ms Merkel when she has to confront CDU sceptics.
However, such niceties may be of little use in convincing the increasingly discontent German public or fellow EU states such as Austria, that have openly challenged her open-borders approach by closing frontiers.
Even French president François Hollande, her most important EU ally, voiced concern at the weekend over a key aspect of the planned Turkey deal — visa liberalisation.
The arguments could multiply as Ms Merkel and other fellow leaders prepare for the next EU migration summit later this week.
If the predictions prove right, the AfD will now be represented in eight of Germany‘s 16 regional assemblies. In Saxony-Anhalt it looked set to record the best regional election result of any German populist rightwing party since 1945.
In the last rightwing surge in the early 1990s, also fuelled by immigration, the Republikaner party scored 10.9 per cent in Baden-Württemberg. It later faded away, amid internal splits, as immigration slowed. The neo-Nazi NPD, the most prominent of far-right groups, scored its best result in regional elections in 2004 in Saxony, with 9.7 per cent.
According to exit polls, the CDU vote plunged over 11 per cent to 27.5 per cent in Baden-Württemberg, though it fell by much less in Rhineland-Palatinate (-2.8 per cent to 32.5 per cent), and in Saxony-Anhalt (-3.5 per cent to 29 per cent). The SPD suffered expected losses of around 10 percentage points in Baden-Württemberg and Saxony-Anhalt, hitting just 11.5 per cent in Saxony-Anhalt, its second-worst regional election result ever.
How things do change. Germans used to invade their neighbors now they can’t even stop barbaric rabble from taking over and raping their women.
“Chancellor Angela Merkel has suffered a dramatic setback in German regional elections”
Now this is TRULY the feel good story of the day!
“Now this is TRULY the feel good story of the day!”
Yeah, delicious, ain’t it? Now if only she’d end up in prison for treason she would be getting her just desserts. I wonder if there is such a charge in German law.
“Mooslim ass rapes Angela before cutting off her head.”
Now … THAT would be a feel good story!!
She should have spent less time sucking black cock (Obama), and more time putting Germany first. Isn’t that the job of a nation’s leader?
“The AfD is a party that is not bringing together society and not offering the appropriate solutions for the problems, but it is stirring up prejudice and polarizing.”…. Angela Merkle

It looks as though Merkle is still begging the muslims to come turn Germany, and Europe, into the next global shithole.
Angela Merkel is in the pocket of Obama, NeoCons, EU, and One Worlders. The German people, some of the smartest people in the world, don’t like it and are going to dump her for being a traitor that she is.
Who knew that advocating for the outright dispossession and genocide of white people could be somewhat unpopular. My, how times have changed!

Stucky gets a rare thumbs up from undefire.
This bitch gets my blood boiling. Fucking moron is ready and willing to sacrifice her country and countrymen for what ?????? So her liberal buddies will think she’s a do gooder????
And a news flash for Merkle, The Muslims don’t play by your rules, couldn’t care less about your rules and will be happier then they are now when all of you are either reduced to subjects or dead..
As long as Merkel remains in power she is running Germany.
The majority of German voters put and keep here there, so it is only a small minority that is dissatisfied with her policies.
Send her to a migrant center without any security guards and perhaps she will understand the sentiment of the German people. Then again, much like Hitlery, It may be the first time in a long time that a man finds her attractive enough to get some attention.
Maybe we better rethink this. And please note some of these good looking German women, many of them pro immigration.
There’s possibilities here, potentially I could fly to Germany, claim my fair share of the benefits, begin a breeding campaign of these hot German women, and, best of all, the Germans get to pay to raise them for me while I continue the breeding. It’s a fucking win win isn’t it!
Aint nothing gonna change – too many zombies votin’ for mainstream parties
LePen was supposed to take over France. We were going to keep our doctor if we liked him. I am not optimistic for the few smart Germans left.
People, people…so solly (love that) too little too late.
And it isn’t even remotely amusing. Europe is dead.
Germany is dead. The dupes welcoming the army of
rapists or just simple rent seekers in are idiots.
Merkel didn’t “invite” the MENA folks in…they were brought
in/financed in as part of a larger plan. If the plan was to destroy
Germany, Sweden, Europe in general…then it has succeeded.
Merkel is just a useful idiot to the planners. USA? Derivatives
at Deutsche Bank anyone?
Meanwhile, Biscayne Bay is filling up with tritium. The oil and corexit
didn’t do the job. Just got back from Fl. Was scared about the water. And it
is SO crowded…traffic perpetually in gridlock. Having fun yet?
