Germany's Elections Did Not Go Well For The Left...or Did It?

 

Former East Germany went way harder to the right with the AfD party than the West. Right Shift

Of course with a parliamentary system, there will be lots of gaming going on.

Instapundit: Right Shift and CDR Salamander: Take The Win:

First things first, Germany voted for right-wing governance. CDU/CSU (Union), and AfD got 49.2% of the vote. However, no one will form a government with them, so the Germans will not be getting what they voted for.

Ace notes:  

Because the CDU abides by the "cordon sanitaire" or "firewall" policy that all the Euro Regime countries do, refusing to form governments with any party that's "far right" (again, meaning "against unlimited mass migration from Islamic countries"), that means that this "center right" party will form a coalition government with... either the German Socialist Party and/or the German Green Party, who are themselves big champions of unlimited third-world mass migration.

You might wonder: Why not just start a new party that isn't "far right" but still opposes open borders?

Well, silly, because any party that opposes open borders is "far right" and subject to the "firewall" policy of excluding closed-border parties.

So the "center right" party will be pursuing a socialist, mass-migration open borders agenda.

But they've kept those dirty "far right" voters out of power.
