(505 posts)There's one party further to the right than her own party coalition (CDU/CSU). That party is called AfD and currently polling at 7%. That party is showing its ugly, extremely right-wing nature more and more so they are trending downwards. Now even some hardcore islamophobes don't want to vote for AfD because the party is too cozy with neonazis and Hitler fans.
