The far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) is now polling at its highest level ever in Germany, neck-in-neck now with the Left Party (Die Linke) as the largest opposition party:
Support for the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party rose to nine percent in a poll released Sunday, a day after thousands of its supporters joined an anti-refugee rally in Berlin.
The AfD party is the chief critic of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's open-door policy towards refugees fleeing war and persecution. Europe's top economy faces a record influx of up to one million asylum seekers this year.
Backing for the AfD was up one point to reach the highest level in a year, and stood at 14 percent in formerly communist eastern Germany, Bild am Sonntag newspaper reported, as the country expects to take in one million asylum-seekers this year.
The AfD tries to distant itself from the neo-Nazi NPD, but as far as I can see, they both swim in the same brown swamp.

Hmm. They would rather rot than take advantage of the vitality that new blood would bring to their nation.

New blood isn’t necessarily better.
