    Whilst things do appear quite bleak across a lot of the European continent right now at least with a parliament that’s receptive to multiple parties there is a hope that one could quickly rise-up from the ashes of those defeated should the AfD (? + others) lurch the country far from the centre in the not too distant future. My confidence isn’t that high, but it is a possibility.

      Unfortunately, the only new development was another split of the left wing party into a new one that wants to appease Russia.

      So we now have:
      AfD (Nazis, Trumpists and Putin fans)
      CDU/CSU (Conservatives increasingly considering a coalition with the nazis)
      FDP (their entire goal is lowering taxes for the rich, and keeping petrol cars legal)
      SPD (Center left, stagnating and inreasingly aimless)
      Greens (unsuccessful in pushing preogress against the others, unpopular due to identity politics)
      Linke (old school left wing, sunken to irrelevancy)
      BSW (most recent split of the left, want to move foreign policy away from NATO towards Russia)

      We now have Putin bootlickers all throughout the political spectrum.
