AfD Approaches 40% Support in East Germany as CDU Faction Announces Plans to Break Away and Cooperate With AfD – The Daily Scept...
The political landscape is shifting in Germany as AfD approaches 40% support in the East and a CDU faction announces plans to break away and cooperate with the Right-wing party that the CDU leadership has refused to touch.
It's hard to tell if this is a genuine brake away group who is tired of the main party doing nothing or if they are opportunistic infiltrators seeing how the tide is turning.
Best way to decipher may be to look at them individually and their track records in government and with their constituents, but without that information I'd be highly cautious.
Politicians are usually leeches following the flow of the water, but it is nice the water is flowing in a good direction.
