Why does the weird one think that he should have more power than a government?

Still, they won't be part of the government.

The "anti facist protection wall" was ahead of its time...

Even the left party in Thüringen is pretty racist and Zionist.

What? You are talking about the Linke of Ramelow? I don't think that this is what most people think about that party....

For now it remains a taboo to make a coalition with AFD but I don’t think we should take it for granted that this taboo holds.

True. I'll go deonstrate on the streets as soon as I think, this could change and many others will do that, too. The "Collectiv" incident gave me hope regarding this.

Why 4-way? CDU + Linke + BSW have enough seats together as far as I know.

I don't even think that they will build a coalition together. It will probably be some kind of 1-party-government or 2-parties-government, which is only accepted by the other(s)... Thüringen had a Linke (left) government that was accepted by CDU the last years.

By the way: BSW was pretty much one part of the left party "Die Linke" until one person did their own thing. No, it is not a AfD. They were only able to "steal" voter from the left party (Linke), but not really from the AfD... They might say similar things about migration and Russia, but one of the parties is classified as 100% far right. One party wants to distribute to the poor, the other wants the opposite. I'm not a fan of BSW, but comparing them with AfD like that is not fair.

And to answer the question above: Yes. I think, that those 3 parties working together against AfD is realistic. That's what all of them are saying for like 10 years. Hoecke (who you can legally call facist by the way) in power would be way worse.

I'm from Germany. If you want to bet with me that AfD will be part of the government, let's do it...

From all 16 AfD sub parties, the one in Thüringen is the most extreme one. Proven to be far right... If you build a government with them, it's pretty much political suicide for you.

If you add up numbers without understanding the local politics before and after the election, you might think that those 3 parties find together. But otherwise, it's very, very, very unrealistic!!!!

BTW: 5 years ago, even getting and relying on votes from AfD politicians in Thüringen crashed the Kemmerich government. It took only one day to collapse.

I think, you misunderstand... They will probably not be part of the government(s). The other parties made that pretty clear. This is Germany. You need 50% of the seets. Does not matter who has the most votes.

And no, it wouldn't be fun for lots of minorities.

Well, the only good thing: The pro-democratic parties will probably build a government without them.

Yeah, but the Verfassungsschutz was sabotaged by Maaßen half of the time.

Yeah, it sucks. A party can't be forbidden in Germany if it's not "relevant enough"... But when they are relevant, it might be too late.

Our "Verfassungsschutz": "Watch out! They plan to overthrow the current system!!"

AfD voter: "Yeah, but the migrants"

This is bad.
