The mask is off. Euroskeptic party? Nah, just good old fashioned nationalist nativism.
Germans perfected it 80 years ago, and the blueprints have just been laying around.
No surprise that dung beetle Nigel Farage is campaigning on behalf of this crap. -

At sunday evening we will know about the outcome. I'm sure their share of votes will be lesser, than in most european countries today, but anyway it will be much to much.

It is known that russia helps far-right parties in western europe since years. And I think, they try to influence young people, who are not much interested in politics and find their "political feelings" in "social media" of the web.Gruß, GünterComment

My daughter is in Berlin for the next year working as an au pair - she's very interested in the election and how it is different from elections here in the US. It will be interesting to hear her comments."The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails."

This is not a good thing, and to be honest, is quite shocking to me given the way Germans go so far out of their way to be liberal in their governing.
<4% unemployment and they get this? I am very surprised.

The AfD is now at the third rank of the votes, which was really not desirable. But no other party will cooperate with them and they will not be able to gain real influence to politics. A lot of other far right parties achieved over the years to gain seats in different parliaments of the Bundesländer (States). All of them managed within a very few years to disappoint their electorate and disappeared in the next election.Gruß, GünterComment

After we had our daughter several friends and acquaintances urged me to have addtional children. I explained we only were having one. I was told be several we should have more as the white race was not propagating in sufficient numbers and it was our Responsibility and duty to do so.

Gustav Heinemann, a former Bundespräsident (head of state) of Germany long years ago said once: "If you point with your finger towards a person, three fingers are pointing toward yourselves."
It is quite easy to think, only other people or other nations were capable to commit unspeakeable crimes.Gruß, GünterComment

British people are obsessed with the idea that Nazis might return to Germany – maybe they should look closer to home

We also, though, have a peculiarly intense and specific fascination with far-right politics in Germany, which emerges whenever a nationalist movement appears on the cusp of popular success there and which plainly ties into Britain’s ongoing obsession with the Second World War.
That fixation with an important moment from our past is evident in many things; from popular culture (think most recently of the film Dunkirk) and dumb football chants (“Two world wars and one world cup”), to our own modern political choices. The campaign to be extricated from the European Union absolutely tapped into the “Britain alone” mentality which became a necessity in 1940 and which has played a powerful role in the British psyche ever since.
Seeing hard-right nationalism reawakening in Germany provokes in those who are so minded a memory (whether real or inherited) of a time when Britain was the world’s protector against the threat of Nazi aggression. For a second or two it becomes possible to put to one side the fact that the UK’s economy is facing challenging times while Germany’s is in rude health, and instead presume once again the moral high ground we took in 1939 and have sought to hold over the Germans ever since.
The irony in this attitude should be painfully obvious: Germany, despite the recent rise of the AfD, has grown to be a European powerhouse in the last 70 years precisely by moving on from a difficult past; Britain, meanwhile, has frequently misstepped because we cannot bear to be parted from a glorious history that has long gone.
