    Preliminary results in Germany from exit polls show the rise of extremism. The neosocialst "Linke" recorded largest increase in votes (a total of 7.5%...over 100% increase). There are no good options on the table. The grand coalition of Social Democrats and Christian Democrats - similar to coalition of reps and dems in the States - will block any meaningful reform in Germany and might lead to even bigger collapse of economy, which will increase extremism in four years and protectionism. or The red (SDP) + red (Linke) + green (GRUNE) coalition would after 50 years once again made Germany a credible threat to European peace. The amount of hatred and negativism in Linke is no smaller that that of early national socialist movement - they are ready for the streets. Suddenly, future is looking really, really dark for the EU. Perhaps the time has come to think about opening myself some options in the new world across the Atlantic; just in case things get really nasty here - I have no doubts about who the neosocialists will direct first pogroms against.

      Alexander, I actually travel to Germany quite often, have friends there (I used to live in Munich) and scan your news - I know what I am talking about. Perhaps your tolerance of leftist extremism is very high and you don't perceive certain acts as extreme? Linke is definitely extreme party and I belive Germany should find itself in international isolation if Linke helps shape the govermnent. Tomaz

            (1) The "neosocialist 'Linke'" did NOT exist 3 years ago. You are comparing to the results of the PDS which was virtually "unelectable" in west germany. So: doubled votes by quadrupling target audience. What a danger! (2) The greens are dominated by the Realo wing, which is dominated by conservative preservative regulators (rather than bearded pinko hippie treehuggers) (3) The SPD is as far from red as a non-functional traffic light. Under Schroeder, they became more a "center people's party", than a red threat. (4) The FDP - closest to your ideas of economy - increased from 7.5 to 10% (5) The Neonazi sinks (REP and NPD) have only marginal results at least get your facts right. But with one thing you are right: there are no good options on the table.

                    I think that very few people in Germany are truly willing to see the neosocialist to access power. However, many Germans are protesting against the more representative leaders. We have such things in France with people voting the extreme right party just to tell politicians they are worried about the important and completely unmanaged immigration we have got. People do not actually go back to the franc or leave the EEC...

                                According to Spiegel Online, your vote really counts: http://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/0,1518,375430,00.html Entscheiden die Dresdner die Wahl? Die Wirrungen des deutschen Wahlrechts könnten skurrile Ergebnisse hervorbringen: Wenn zu viele die CDU wählen, verlöre sie ein Mandat. The difference between Red and Black is so small that one or two mandates can decide who'll become chancellor. :cool: _________________________________ Please inform me about my English mistakes, as I'm still trying to learn your language! -- modified at 15:39 Monday 19th September, 2005

                                    I wouldn't be so sure about that. Classical liberalism is gaining ground in Europe. In Germany the FDP had a huge increase in votes and was voted third largest party. The trouble is that neosocialist extremists have gained power too and this is a threat to democracy and peace. It is good to know that in Germany not even totalitarian media control via public television system worked for the left. It is bad that people who would not be fulled anymore divided to two groups - moderate liberal reformists on one side and die hard militant extremists, supporting their sacred public television and neosocialist agenda to the grave on the other. Germany itself is a country divided, positions are quite similar to the cold war and the left is benefiting from decades of communist brainstorming on the east. There is still a clear boundary between free world and neosocialist quagimire; Berlin wall still stands in minds of people - and I don't mean people like me. Here's the result of "are you for more personal responsibility" poll: http://www.stern.de/politik/perspektivedeutschland/index.html?id=523002&p=4&nv=ct_cb&eid=501574[^] Here are the voters of the extreme neosocialist Linke.
