Note the newest meme perversion. The use and meaning of the term “soverignity” which they are having the socialist media define as “populism”.
AfD is a party of differing groups. Very reminiscent of the DNVP Party of Germany in 1919. It had around five significant factions within the party and barely functioned but always got 10-to-15 percent of the vote. You see the same tendencies with AfD.
The public? In terms of hard-core believers of the party....it’s probably less than 3-percent of the public. Everyone that voted AfD....did so to send a message to Merkel and the five other parties. If nothing changes in four years....the same crowd will return and vote AfD again.
