We recently pointed out that Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD) party was gaining significant popularity as the anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim tide continued to rise in Germany. We then noted that everyone in the establishment will be shocked when the AfD's polling numbers started to climb higher.
We expect much more such back and forth between the "left" and the "right", which just like in the US, will ultimately benefit the object the media has decided to target for ridicule, until - just like in Austria - Germany's establishment is shocked when the AfD's polling skyrockets in the coming months and leads to drastic changes in Germany's political landscape.
It turns out we didn't have to wait long for that to become a reality. In a recent survey for ARD , support for Germany's right-wing populist party AfD is at a record 15% (+1), closing in on the centre-left's SPD, which fell to 20% (-1), its lowest level of support since 1997. Angela Merkel's CDU/CSU bloc came in at 33% (-1).
