The “Nazi” name-calling strategy doesn’t seem to be working anymore (see the photo – get it?), all ye established, fat and sassy German political parties and media manipulators.

You might have to finally consider giving the German electorate what it actually wants. An end to mass illegal immigration, for example, or affordable energy. To name just two.

AfD: German voters shift toward far right – The AfD continues to gain ground in opinion polls amid high dissatisfaction with the government. Support for ending the taboo on cooperating with the populists is growing.

The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has received another boost in the polls: If federal elections were held this week, the populist party would win 21% of the vote, putting it firmly in second place behind the center-right bloc of Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU), which remain the strongest force at 27%, despite taking some small losses.

That is according to the latest edition of the representative “Deutschlandtrend” survey, for which pollster infratest reached out to 1,297 eligible voters via phone or email between July 31 and August 2.

As in the previous months’ surveys, Germany’s center-left government again failed to win a majority. Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democratic Party (SPD), the largest party in the three-way coalition, would garner 17% — down from 25.7% when it came to power in the last general election in 2021.
