COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, Congratulations. Socrates was right as soon as once more. Scholz’s unpopular Social Democrat authorities has the worst efficiency since World Warfare II. Merz gained, and Afd doubled its help, coming in second. If this was America, Merz’s lower than 29% would have been a joke. Right here, he’ll rule Germany and stupidly vow no coalition with AfD. He has not obtained the memo as you say that the individuals are shifting.
Thanks for Socrates. That is the one forecaster that’s not biased.

REPLY: Sure, Friedrich Merz’s conservative opposition chief, what wouldn’t be even a headline in the US. When you’ve got so many events combating, you get very ineffective governments. That many Italians have instructed me retains politicians arguing in opposition to one another and leaving the folks alone. Certainly, as our laptop projected, the Different for Germany practically doubled its help, placing within the strongest displaying for an alleged “far-right occasion” that had been in opposition to wholesale immigration since World Warfare II.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz conceded defeat for his left-leaning Social Democrats. He mentioned it was “a bitter election end result.” Maybe he ought to hearken to the folks relatively than to Kaus Schwab. Marxism doesn’t work. It has destroyed each financial system it has ever been deployed as a result of it’s outright in opposition to human nature.
Merz vowed to maneuver rapidly to place collectively a coalition authorities however has vowed to not make a coalition with AfD all as a result of the press has labeled them far-right, asking to be Nazis. Any coalition Merz created with out AfD will solely doom Germany to a continuation of the unending financial stagnation of Europe’s largest financial system because of Russian sanctions and the silly net-zero local weather change insurance policies. Merz had pushed laborious in latest weeks for a stricter method, however with opposition to NATO in opposition to peace with Russia to be able to stay related, will Merz fall consistent with the EU battle targets?
Germany is probably the most populous nation within the 27-nation European Union and a number one member of NATO. It has been Ukraine’s second-biggest weapons provider after the U.S. Therein lies the issue. Scholtz promised Zelensky he could be his largest supporter. Ukraine solely takes. I by no means surrender something. The Ukraine authorities is probably the most corrupt authorities runs it on the planet, and they’re like a service provider who takes your cash and declares all gross sales are remaining and haven’t any returns.
Primarily based on exit polls and partial counting, the projections put help for Merz’s Union bloc got here in at round 28.5% and the anti-immigration AfD at about 20.5% — roughly double its end result from 2021. Scholz’s Social Democrats collapsed to simply over 16%, which was an all-time historic low even beneath the 20.5% from 2017. The Greens got here in at an appalling simply over 12%.
Merz made an enormous mistake due to the press and dismissed the concept voters wished a coalition with AfD. “Now we have basically totally different views, for instance on international coverage, on safety coverage, in lots of different areas, relating to Europe, the euro, NATO,” he mentioned. Mertz has ignored the vote and he’s simply doing as directed by the EU and NATO. This doesn’t converse properly for Germany’s’s altering instructions.
