Angela Merkel's party lost to the "far-right" anti-immigration AfD party in her own district. From RT: The right-wing, anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany party (AfD) has placed second in state elections, ahead of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in her home state, exit polls say. The projected win for the AfD, whose leaders have repeatedly demanded tougher anti-immigrant laws and lambasted Merkel for her open-door policy towards refugees, comes just a year before the federal elections.This election strongly indicates they have their own Trumpian revolution brewing: Speaking to RT, the head of AfD’s Berlin branch, Georg Pazderski, said that the support his party gained in Merkel’s home state is because “people see that there is something wrong with this country” and that change is needed.Here's a chart showing how AfD gained hugely while all the other parties lost. Here's some recent polls showing the AfD are right on the money: This is a major victory and the trend will only continue as the situation gets worse.
