German Elections: Integrity Of The Result Questioned After Anti - Establishment BSW Party Conveniently Fails By 14000 Votes To Win Seats

 

Globalist wet liberal Friedrich Merz looks set to be the next chancellor of Germany after his Christian Democrats (CDU), along with its Bavarian sister party (CSU), won Sunday’s federal election with 28.6 percent, comfortably ahead of the ani - immigration party AfD which seured second place thus breaking the traditional German duopoly as the Social Democrats crashed to only 16% of the vote.

The CDU/CSU did not win enough votes for an oversall majority and it is likely to form another Grand Coalition with the Social Democrats although the to parties have little common ground on policy and share only a desire born of fear for their own positions, to keep AfD out of government.

The election delivered the anticipated political shake-up as the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) made historic gains, the Free Democratic Party (FDP) crashed out of parliament, and the newly founded left-wing, anti-immigration BSW agonizingly fell just short of the 5 percent threshold to win seats in the Bundestag. Had BSW made it into the Bundestag that would have changed the picture because it would take seats from the SDP and leave Merz needing a third coalition member. The CSU, somewhat more conservative than the CDU who are a bunch of political grifters and will do anything to hold on to power.

CDU will not work with AfD and so would only have the far left Linke and the loony left Greens available to complete the triumvirate, but the CSU will not work with the Greens so a ruling coalition without AfD would not have been possible.

With just 14,000 votes, the election result could have been radically different. The German voting system only applies if a party scores 5 percent of the vote, and if they fail to achieve that, millions of votes can be flushed down the drain and those voters get no representation at all. While most countries have some kind of voter hurdle in Europe, Germany’s is exceptionally high.

The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) came incredibly close to wielding power, scoring 4.972 percent of the vote. In all of Germany, they were short 14,000 votes. 

German democracy only applies if a party scores 5 percent of the vote, and if they fail to achieve that, millions of votes can be flushed down the drain and those voters get no representation at all. While most countries have some kind of voter hurdle in Europe, Germany’s is exceptionally high.

The result means that the composition of parliament is vastly different than it would have been if the party was included. 

If BSW had made it into parliament, the CDU would have had to find a third coalition partner, as the SPD would not have been enough to secure a majority. With a two-party coalition, not only is it easier for the CDU to form a government but that government is also likely to be far more stable than a three-party coalition. The AfD and BSW would have also taken a third of all seats, which would have given them a blocking minority, and would have enabled them to push back in certain areas.

The AfD has doubled its vote since 2021, but is still falling short of its own ambitions. It is no longer a phenomenon confined to the former communist state of East Germany, winning over many working-class voters from the SPD, increasingly including those in West Germany, and many first-time voters. 

Campaigning as a fairly standard Right-wing populist party (not 'far right' as it has been dubbed in mainstream media all over Europe,) the leftward drift of legacy parties has given the working class voter nowhere else to look for a party that addresses their concerns. To be excluded  again from Government by the ‘firewall’, it will only become more popular as the face of the real opposition to the miserable status quo. We can easily anticipate the fate of whatever national coalition forms; similar coalitions at the state level have led to political gridlock

German democracy only applies if a party scores 5 percent of the vote, and if they fail to achieve that, millions of votes can be flushed down the drain and those voters get no representation at all. While most countries have some kind of voter hurdle in Europe, Germany’s is exceptionally high.

So far BSW leader, Sahra Wagenknecht has stated that it would not be the end of her party regardless of whether the BSW makes it into parliament or not; however, she has signaled she may withdraw from politics.

However, BSW MEP Fabio de Masi is already raising questions about the election outcome and hinting at jiggery pokery in the vote count, writing on X: “I fear this election will still keep Courts busy.”

“A legal round is not out of the question. Proceedings first in the Bundestag, then in the Federal Constitutional Court. The question is, are there electoral errors and are they relevant to the mandate?” wrote Masi.

 This could develop into a hugely entertaining mess. Nobody can hear the fat lady singing, in fact it seems certain she hasn't even entered the building yet. Get the snacks and beer ready.

German Green Party Urges Allowing 140 Million "Climate Refugees" To Migrate To West

The Green Party in Germany is currently putting forward as a policy that up to 140 million “climate refugees” should be allowed to migrate to the west and given citizenship. The question of where we would put 140 million people and what we would do with them is of course deflected. And the case that the 50 million climate refugees that were predicted tTo descend on the west, having been displaced by rising sea levels are apparently all hiding under Harry Potter's Cloak of Invisibility is ignored.

Germany Heading For Political Instability After EU Elections? it may be premature to write off the AfD because it is entirely possible their supporters suffered a bout of apathy with regard to the European Parliament, being aware the European Commission will not allow any nationalist grouping to gain influence in the parliament, the Left made some astonishing gains at the expense of Merkel’s CDU and its coalition partners the CSU and SDP. The always fragile coalition is now in even more trouble ...
