She describes the problems with the proportionate voting system vs the first past the post of the U.K. and the U.S. where you can get genuine change. Whereas in the proportional system as in Germany, you just get a ashufflimg of the parties and no real change. The populations of Europe consistently want to have secure borders, control of illegal immigration, with numbers from 75% to 90% demanding this, but never getting it. Hence the rise of parties like the AfD. Which the Left, of course, calls “far right” because they have the temerity to reflect the will of the people.
But when these truths are shown to them by JD Vance — as at the recent Munich Security Conference— the political establishment and media go mental. Katja tells all.
From the intro:
Germany’s ruling Social Democrats(SPD) are facing losses the party has not seen since the 19th century in this weekend’s federal elections, while the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) is set to double its vote share.
Here, historian and journalist Katja Hoyer explains how a failing economy, out-of-control migration and intrusive Net Zero policies have led to mass disaffection with the mainstream parties. She also discusses the growing class divide, the rise and fall of ‘left-conservatism’, and why JD Vance’s warnings about free speech resonated with East Germans.
