The German general election was today and our very own right-wing extremist/protest party got over 13% (Very recently, they told the public that they would “hunt down” chancellor Merkel (she’s been re-elected. We have the tendency to keep our chancellors for a very long time.) and the established parties, and chanted “Germany back to the Germans”.
Also, the preach water but drink wine (they are against homosexuals or at least giving homosexuals certain rights (they are very focused on the nuclear family, going as far as demonising single parents), immigrants, and refugees, but one of their chairwomen is a lesbian in a relationship with an Asian woman, who has adopted a child and has recently come under fire for illegally hiring a refugee woman as a cleaning lady… yeah.).
I mean, that would be bad enough if it happened in every other country, but f*cking Germany?! You’d think people would read a history book, but nooo…
And don’t even get me started on the fact that we now have 6 parties in our parliament, which unfortunately also means that we’ll have a three-party government and therefore, an unstable government. We specifically have a law that tries to prevent this (”5% barrier”) because back in the old days, we had a myriad of parties and no working government, which kind of led to Hitler.
On the positive side, 87% of all voters didn’t vote for the second coming of Hitler. (Yeah, I have a very strong opinion on that. Sorry.)
