Another regional German election and another massive defeat for Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
Merz’s CDU party is below the 5% threshold in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, meaning they are totally wiped out from the region. Merz has described the Sunday result as a “disaster”, with the AfD party again emerging victorious.
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) leads in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern at 38%, marking consecutive historic gains, while co-leader Alice Weidel calls it the new people’s party.
(VIA MSM) – German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party is facing a dire set of results in state elections, exit polls show, and is set to be squeezed both by the surging far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) and parties on the left.
The AfD is projected to win the north-eastern state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern at 38%, the exit poll from Germany’s public broadcaster shows, just two weeks after the party had its best result yet in Saxony-Anhalt.
Merz’s CDU is currently below the 5% threshold to gain representation in parliament, piling pressure on his beleaguered leadership.
Merz described the results in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern as a “disaster” in a speech after the exit polls were released.
“We cannot sugar coat the result in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern,” Merz said. “It is a disaster. The CDU fought hard, but in the end it was the CDU that got crushed in the polarization between the [Social Democratic Party] and the AfD.”
The chancellor remained defiant as he spoke of the need for reform to address Germany’s economic issues and deepening divisions. “The answer cannot be to go back to the good old days,” he said.
In the other election on Sunday, the left-wing Die Linke party leads in Berlin at 26%, followed by the CDU and the Greens, according to the exit polls.
There were audible groans inside the CDU watch party in Berlin as the results were read out for both regions.
[…] AfD co-leader Alice Weidel was gleeful as the exit polls were announced, telling CNN that her party is “clearly the new people’s party in Germany.”
“We have overtaken the CDU, and people want a change of policy,” Weidel said. She described Merz as “strongly damaged,” adding: “I believe the CDU cannot continue with Friedrich Merz, with a weak chancellor.”
In Berlin, the AfD is outlooked to come in fourth with 13.5%. While not comparable to its gains elsewhere, the result is a notable sign of how the far right is finding support even in the cosmopolitan capital; in Berlin’s last state parliament election in 2023, the AfD took 9.1% of the vote.
Sunday’s elections come at a critical moment for Merz, arriving just two weeks after the AfD delivered a crushing blow to his party with a historic state election victory in Saxony-Anhalt, where it took 44% of the vote. (more)
Parlimentary elections, like ranked choice voting, primarily exist to subvert the will of the people.
And yet it was “the will of the people” to establish a parliamentary government.
Maybe they just didn’t think it through.
The Left can’t win a fair election due to their lack of quality. This is a prime example! Educated Liberals are in essence a danger to the population! The overall picture is evil! This Charmin thinks he’s Royalty! The people spoke!!!
Maybe it is time for Blackrock Merz to resign.
It is, Chris…
But he doesn’t own a watch.
This election is telling him what time it is. He just refuses to accept the will of the people.
His owners won’t let him
Kinda like the rats here. I guess Merz doesn’t have a cheat machine like the demonic democrats and their side kick the DSA.
Can I watch him go?
Thick-headed and clueless, for sure. You can talk until your face is blue, with every written proof there, and they STILL REFUSE TO SEE THE REALITY OF ANY OF IT!
Nor a toupee, or big cowboy hat…
For whom the bell tolls.
Merz trying to be a Timex, take a licking and keep on ticking!
it should be time for him to flee into exile and hiding.
Just like pubic lice, once they’re there, they’re very hard to get rid of
And the split in the EU is becoming obvious. I give EU a few more years. As goes Germany, so goes EU.
Well the Germany economy is tanking, so…..
They will blame Trump too .. what the heck
Yes, exactly.
Ireland, Wales, Scotland and possibly Australia and New Zealand want to join the EU. After a couple of years they will want independence from the Crown.
Not this lil’ white Aussie Duck!
Unfortunately Ireland is ruled from Brussels akready
If they go – they chose sides forever. Don’t visit America.
Can’t come soon enough
Yep.
There are now many very loud and critical voices in the EU, laying the blame for all issues at the door of Ursula von der Leyen. Christine Anderson is gleeful at the ouster of Merz

Couldn’t happen to a nicer group–as the saying goes
You have to look at the Berlin results through a separate lense. I suspect those results are going to be a catalyst for something very interesting. AfD came in fourth. BUT, first place went to the very far left. And, that promped the Central Council of Jews to immediately protest because there is outright and open anti-Semitic behavior from them. The media, EU and moderates within Germany consistently accuse AfD of this. In fact, just the other week the Associated Press reported on AfD dominance of Saxony as the first time a far right political party has won there since World War 2. Now, this is nonsense, because the Nazis were authoritarian Socialists, but that’s the narrative to take down AfD.
Now, however, the left wins big in Berlin (not unexpected). But what was unexpected was the Central Council of Jews really taking a stance against that result and accusing that far left party of everything AfD has previously been saddled with. To address the Central Council of Jews concerns (and they will as the guilt is still dwelling with that country), they will have to weaken their argument against AfD.
Here’s a quote from Central Council President Josef Schuster on Sunday.
“The fact that a party whose campaign rallies openly called for people’s deaths is set to emerge victorious from the election deeply troubles me.”
This might be fun.
Berlin was always a hotbed of communists. It goes back to 1918.
Absolutely….but also just under 500,000 Muslims. And, those two groups aren’t mutually exclusive. But, one of them opened all their public speaking with “from the River to the Sea” mantras.
the left/right paradigm was always a lie to promote more authoritarianism. fascism and socialism are two sides of the same coin.
It is time for the Jews in America to stop voting for the Democrat Socialists of the USA. Antisemitism and racism are a feature of the Left. KKK to DSA to National Socialism to Communism. It is a road well traveled.
Just a question, does Germany vote with paper ballots or electronics?
sans USAID
Merz would have won the day if he had received some help from the democrats here in the US to rig the machines.
How strange this election was on Sunday and the results were declared – Sunday.
Wot’s going on? Answer that America.
Our Communists are much better at rigging elections than German Communists. This reason is why our Republic is in as much or more danger than the EU. We are one election away from not being able to vote our way out of this mess.
Couldn’t happen to a better chap looking 👀 for the down fall of the enemies of freedom.
“The answer cannot be to go back to the good old days,” he said.
Heavens no, why would people want to go back to the good old days when they can live in the dystopian hell you have built for them
So… the population does not support the BS regarding Russia Russia Russia, the Green New Scam, illegal invader rape gangs and getting pee’d on and being told its just warm summer rain.
Similar statements that Obama repeats…. You cannot drill your way out of this, fundamentally change the country, safe and effective, you can keep your doctor, ObamaCare will reduce healthcare spending, diversity is strength, we will be a service economy…and on and on.
It’s always interesting how similar the propaganda is. It has the same stench each and every time. That says something about the weakness of human nature, I suspect. We fall for the same trick every time.
I want someone to explain to me why 4% of the population of Germany matters so much.
Saxony A and Mecklenburg V are like north and South Dakota. Nice people, great places, but hardly matter from an electoral perspective.
They are a Federal Parliamentary Republic.
They are akin to State elections in the US
The chancellor remained defiant as he spoke of the need for reform to address Germany’s economic issues and deepening divisions.“The answer cannot be to go back to the good old days,” he said
Why not? It worked until you and the WEF a-holes pushed the green energy hoax.
The ruling elites are complete morons.
The ruling self-styled elites are also unfathomably evil.
They would burn their nation down to ash just to maintain their rule.
As well as killing their own children!
Of course the chancellor remained defiant. That’s just how tyrannical leftists roll.
I’m surprised that Brussels isn’t scheming to nullify these results … or perhaps they are!
The cited article calls the AfD party “far-right”. Younger lefty Germans, like lefty Americans, probably assume that means “literal nazis” in today’s hyperbolic rhetoric.
“Far right”
Yeah, “Far right”
Yeah, that’s the ticket …
3 to 5 years and the EU withers into nothingness
Hopefully.
Good! Mertz thinks Germany must have him as their leader. The people have said otherwise. Like all other dictators, Mertz refuses to listen to his people.
Some people just don’t get it -even when it is staring them in the face (or they are looking into a mirror).
I think this is pretty exciting.
I’m a huge Alice Weidel fan. Her speeches are fantastic.
Weeeeel! Her personal life is something else.
LOL
🙂
If the media wants to label the AfD as far right, they should start calling the CDU far too stupid or far too delusional.
No party is right or left anymore.
It’s globalist, commie, and corrupt, compared to what works and what we can afford.
What is practical and benefits the taxpaying citizen, compared to how much self-serving corruption can we get away with?
The CDU should change its logo to someone trying to hammer a square peg into a round hole.
That is the way it goes in the EU and UK. Any Right party that is a threat to the Left gets branded Far Right by the Left Biased EU and UK Mainstream Media.
Hmmm. Why does that sound so familiar?
At what point do we just say the AFD is the populous Center, and the CDU are the Far Left Fascists?
A better question may be when Germans themselves call this out.
Fred Mertz from ‘I Love Lucy’ was more honest than this guy…had Ethel to keep him in line. Globalists are used to implementing their warped policies with impunity. Herr Freidrich finally got some ‘splainin’ to do.
its too bad this guy doesn have a pair of pants swallowing him whole
I am just so terribly tired of the little Green Goblin…just rid our situation of him!
Maybe tomorrow Merz’s party will find some mail in votes to win the election …
Hope AfD takes over or Germany is lost.
It’s going to be difficult for AFD without similar coalition partners. The so called Conservatives (CDC / Merz) and the Left have created a Firewall to block AFD. AFD has the most support in what was East Germany. Hopefully AFD keeps increasing support in the South of Germany.
The Chancellor fellow does sort of resemble Colonel Klink from Hogan’s Heroes.
“Tell me, Schultz, which colonel is running this camp, Hogan or me?”
Who is running Deutschland? Good question.
There is nothing Christian or democratic about the CDU party. A better name for it would be the Commie-Demagogue party.
“Christian Democratic Union” of Merz ?
These people actually label themselves Christians is a complete joke
The French have rejected Macon a half dozen times in the past several years and yet he’s still President of France.
The Krauts need to talk with our democrat party activists and the US deep-state on how to properly rig elections. If we can do it in the USA over and over, smart people like the Germans can do it too and likely better.
Paging Ma Merkel
“This marks a historic turning point for the Christian Democratic Union of Germany and one of the most profound humiliations in its 81-year history. For the first time ever, the once-proud party has been ousted from a state parliament.”

If they had real elections in Europe none of these people would be in power. France votes Macron out but he’s still there. The German people are speaking out but Merz is not going anywhere. The same thing is going to happen in the USA from now on because the US has done nothing to prevent voter fraud.
The citizens are sick and tired of this “migrant” charade the politicians are trying to pull off! I DON’T understand why these leftist imbeciles want to destroy their own country!! Makes NO sense!! 🤷🏻♀️
Migration in Europe is no farce.
It is the implementation of a plan long ago devised by Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi.
Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi is a major but unknown player in the European construction. His book Pan-Europa (1923) is the first modern formulation of a project of political, economic and military unification of the continent. It is regrettable that he is absent from the official lists of the “pioneers of the European Union”, while his influence was decisive.
The Kalergi Plan: Genocide of European Peoples
This is how Gerd Honsik describes the essence of the Kalergi Plan :
In his book “Praktischer Idealismus” (Practical Idealism), Kalergi states that the inhabitants of the future “United States of Europe” will no longer be the native peoples of the Old Continent, but rather a kind of bestial sub-humanity resulting from racial mixing.
He asserted, without mincing words, that it was necessary to ” crossbreed ” European peoples with
Asians and Blacks to create a multi-ethnic herd devoid of specific qualities and easily dominated
by the ruling elites.
PANEUROPE
THE ESSENCE OF THE KALERGI PLAN
“The man of the future will be of mixed blood. The future Eurasian-Negroid race, very similar to the ancient Egyptians, will replace the multiplicity of peoples […]
According to him, this people had to be created, and this new mixed-race people would allow the elite to be superior to him.
By abolishing the principle of equality before the law and shielding minorities from all criticism with extraordinary laws protecting them, it would be possible to control the masses. The politicians of the time listened to Kalergi, the Western powers based their policies on his Plan, and American newspapers and intelligence services financed his projects. European political leaders are well aware that he is the instigator of this Europe led by Brussels and Maastricht. Kalergi, unknown to the general public, […] is considered the father of Maastricht and multiculturalism. What is revolutionary about his Plan is that he does not advocate genocide to seize power, but rather plans to create “subhumans” who, due to negative characteristics such as By first eliminating democracy, namely the power of the people, and then the people themselves through miscegenation, the
Whites were to be replaced by a mixed race that would be easy to dominate. Mass immigration is a phenomenon whose causes are cleverly concealed by the System, and “multiethnic” propaganda tries to persuade us that it is inevitable. In this article, we want to demonstrate once and for all that this immigration is not a spontaneous phenomenon.
What we are led to believe is an unavoidable consequence of history is in reality a plan meticulously planned and prepared over decades to completely destroy the face of the Old Continent.
Few people know that one of the main protagonists of the European process is also the one who planned and orchestrated the genocide of the European peoples. He is an obscure figure whose existence is unknown to the masses, but whom the powerful consider to be the founding father of the European Union.
His name is Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi. Behind the scenes, far from the spotlight, he managed to ensnare the most important heads of state. They would support and promote his project of European
unification [1]. In 1922, he founded the ” Pan-European ” movement in Vienna , which aimed to establish a New World Order based on a Federation of Nations led by the United States. The unification of Europe would have been the first step towards a single World Government.
FROM KALERGI TO THE PRESENT DAY
With the rise of fascism in Europe, the Plan had to be temporarily halted, and the Pan-European Union was forced to dissolve.
But,after the Second World War, Kalergi, through frenetic and tireless activity, and with the support of Winston Churchill, the B’nai B’rith Masonic lodge, and major newspapers like the New York Times, succeeded in getting his project accepted by the US government.
In order for the elites to dominate Europe, he planned to transform homogeneous peoples into a mixed people; he attributed to mixed people characteristics of cruelty and infidelity, among others.
Although no school textbook mentions Kalergi, it is his ideas that have inspired today’s European
Union. His belief that European peoples should be mixed with Black and Asian people to destroy
their identity and create a single mixed race is at the heart of all European policy regarding
integration and the protection of minorities. [the incapacity] and instability, will tolerate and accept this “noble race” (noble race = elite).
Kalergi proclaimed that it was necessary to abolish the right to self-determination of peoples and,
successively, eliminate nations by using ethnic separatist movements or mass foreign immigration.

Hitler / NSDAP didn’t back a Pan Europe. The feeling was the European countries National Identities were too strong at the time. Now it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
So Europe’s Alinsky.
Merz is being dishonest.
It is not the election that has been a disaster
but his leadership and party that have been a disaster for Germany.
All he cares about is power and self-interest, not the welfare of ordinary Germans.
Failing German chancellor Merz is insane. Instead of accepting responsibility for historical losses of his party, in a speech he has instead attributed the problem to a radicalisation of the population.
This is like Hillary Clinton calling people deplorables.
Merz DGAF. He’s following Klaus Schwab’s oft-spoken qualities of great leadership counsel. Klaus said Merkel established herself as one of the great leaders of our time by welcoming millions of Muslim invaders. She just had to have the “nerves” to give her middle finger to voters. Like Merz is doing. And all the globalist leaders flipping off their voters everywhere.
https://www.chinausfocus.com/society-culture/what-makes-a-great-leader-
“The third critical quality of a great leader is courage – or nerve, as Klaus puts it. The surge of refugees in Europe, especially Syrian asylum-seekers in 2015, led to an explosion of populist sentiment, with political leaders increasingly calling for borders to be closed. Weak leaders buckled under the pressure, either aligning their rhetoric with that of the populists or getting steamrolled by their fiery competitors.
Not German Chancellor Angela Merkel. She set a powerful example by agreeing to accept one million refugees. At first, her standing with voters – and even many within her own party – sagged, to the point that some began writing her political epitaph. But her remarkable courage eventually paid off. She is now recognized worldwide as one of the strongest leaders of our time.”
YY – The irony of Schwab citing open border immigration to Chinese leaders, in China, who would never allow millions of Muslim invaders to immigrate to China, is not lost.
Berlin exist polls: left wing, CDU, Greens. Are all urban areas (as we often see in the US as well) this myopic??
Maybe as in the US it is corruption?
Urban area school systems — controlled by far-left criminals — have large numbers of students who are
misinformed — errors in the info
malinformed — deliberately bad info
disinformed — deliberately misleading info
nonsense informed — deliberately junk info
noninformed — deliberately no info at all [ info gaps ]
FAFO
Like NAFTA once the EU was formed the dissolution of the West was in place. These WEF demons didn’t miss a beat, but with arrival of our Great American President Donald J Trump stepped up we can all see the emperor has no cloths.
This is a nice start, but these demons will not just jump back into hell, but will have to be thrown. Much work to be done.
“the surging far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) and parties on the left”
AfD is Not “far-right”; AfD is “Normal”
Notice that “the left” — is not called — “the far left”
Take back your country Germans!
Will Merz be like Jerome Powell and refuse to leave?
These people are desperate and arrogant!
Angela Merkel was the first female leader of the CDU
The people of the EU have up until now, been patient and quiet, watching their towns and cities overwhelmed with Muslims who show no interest in assimilating into the culture. Instead the Muslim immigrants have led to a shocking increase in the number of rapes and other crimes throughout Europe and Scandinavia. The people have taken it all and done nothing…until now.
Each time the people rise up, as in France with Le Pen, the government and/or their EU minders put her in prison on trumped up charges. They did the same thing with the people’s choice in Romania, or rather I believe they rigged an election so he couldn’t win. Eventually the people of Europe will become so angry that there is no turning back and nothing left to lose so that fighting the EU [and behind the EU the British imperial system] is the only hope for them.
This is happening in England as well, but there many people are indoctrinated into globalist ideas and don’t understand what role the City of London has played through the centuries. I hope the people in England will reason similarly to those of Germany that their best hope will be to overturn the government’s efforts to destroy their lives.
How long until they are declared a neo-Nazi party and outlawed?
“The answer is we can’t just go back to the good old days”. You mean when things worked? There is a reason we call them the GOOD old days.
Welp… sounds like it’s time for a visit to Germany by Samantha Powers and crew.
Yes, I realize USAID is Kaput… but somebody’s gonna show up in the money will come from somewhere.
Too late for Merz even if he wanted to go back to “the good old days.” The economic interests in Germany are not going to halt their moves to save themselves because of a PR statement from him. They are trapped in different corners but of their own making. Deutschland ist verloren.
Wie gehts, Deutschland!

“In May 2017, a group of conservative scholars and intellectuals met in Paris. They were brought together by their common concern about the current state of European politics, culture, society—and above all the state of the European mind and imagination. Through delusion and self-deception and ideological distortion, Europe is dissipating her great civilizational inheritance.”

Who new that decades of delivering the exact opposite of what the people wanted and persecuting them if they complained too loudly would turn around and bite you in the ass?
As John Wayne said in movie HONDO
partner life is hard, if you’re stupid it’s a whole lot harder.
Merz reminds me of the pledge from the Animal House movie: “Thank you sir, may I have another!’.
