    It appears that the former West Germany voted for the Christian Democrats and the former East Germany (other than Berlin) delivered the AfD vote.

    I’m so old that I can remember East Germany being pretty much the last hold out in the Soviet bloc. I guess perestroika never did catch the collective imagination of the volk in the east.

    Elbows up!

          You didn't get that quite right. "Linke" is a very left-wing socialist party.

            @Klaus I was looking at AfD?

            Education is extremely important.

              Oh I see. But given that more young people voted left-wing your caption doesn't seem to be consistent with the graphics.

                It’s not about the actual number, it’s about the significant growth. It’s a far larger number than a few short years ago.

                    Very. I don’t believe Trump intends to leave NATO. But then I didn’t think he’d attack Iran either.

                      Trump(CF) rightly wanted Europe to pay the agreed fair share costs towards NATO and defence. And by suggesting the US might quit NATO he's making them/us do it.

                      I don't see the US leaving NATO, we share some excellent bases all around the world.
