  • "Angela Merkel has ruled this country for twelve years. She has imposed a debt burden of billions on the Germans to protect the southern part of Europe from collapsing and to implement her idea of a European community. She has shaken the German energy industry to save the world's climate. And she has opened the gates of the country to hundreds of thousands of refugees because she considered it a humanitarian obligation. She also changed the traditional notion of marriage, as marriage of husband and wife, just like that...." — Tagesspiegel.

  • "We will reclaim our country and our people." — Alexander Gauland, a former CDU official who is now co-chairman of the Alternative for Germany party (AfD).

  • "The reality is that as of today, September 24, Ms. Merkel is in effect a lame duck." — Handelsblatt.

Chancellor Angela Merkel has won a fourth term in office, but the real winner of the German election on September 24 was the Alternative for Germany, an upstart party that harnessed widespread anger over Merkel's decision to allow into the country more than a million mostly Muslim migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

Preliminary election results show that Merkel's center-right CDU/CSU alliance won around 33% of the vote, its worst electoral result in nearly 70 years. Merkel's main challenger, Martin Schulz and his center-left SPD, won 20.5%, the party's worst-ever showing.

The nationalist Alternative for Germany (AfD) won around 13% to become the country's third-largest party, followed by the classical liberal Free Democrats (FDP) with 10.7%, the far-left Linke party with 9.2% and the environmentalist Greens with 8.9%.

Mr Scarper beat me to it as I was just going to ask why are these parties consistently called 'far right'?
Is it 'far right' to want to control immigration for the benefit of the native population?
To often Leftists and Centerists consider immigrants- and refugees' rights before those of their own peoples.
 
Imho one should not be to eager to assume that every one or the majority of people who voted for the national German party

support them (as such) or there agenda

bit like saying that every one who voted to leave the EU (Brexit) voted on EU issues
 
a BBC journalist has been given minders to look after her at the Labour conference due to being labelled a Tory by the

thugs / nasty pieces of work who now infest the left wing of the labour party like a disease.

and are at that conference supporting Corbyn

Yes but if you are talking about Laura Kuenssberg, I cannot understand why the left don't embrace her as, like the rest of the BBC, she is blatantly left wing biased.
