It’s also a common white name, isn’t it?

Yeah, that makes more sense:

AfD is still the smallest of the big parties. I expect them to overtake the Linke this year though.

It’s also not as if the pound is a particularly weak currency like the French Frank or the German Deutsche Mark was.

The Deutsche Mark was famously stable and the biggest official foreign exchange reserves after the dollar, it was much stronger than the pound sterling.

And the only reason Hamas doesn’t do what IDF does is because they are incapable of doing it not because of any moral superiority

Not every Hamas victim does either, doesn’t change the fact that Hamas did exactly what IDF does here

Are you fucking kidding me?

They were kicked out just before the election

Yeah, it’s short for National Socialism which was just a rebranding of Fascism in Germany to get Workers on board. So I guess Fascism is the better term to use in any case but seriously, it’s just different flavours of the same shit so I think it’s a mood point to differentiate. They all support the same ideology and policies

Giving weapons to Ukraine was not popular back then, on the contrary. Habeck got a lot of shit for his statements, not only from his own party but all the other ones including conservatives.

I agree that he is much better rhetorically than Baerbock but I don’t think he would have made Chancellor or even if he made Chancellor, green-red would not have made it, they would have needed the FDP anyway.

It’s only Nationalsozialismus if it’s from the Nationalsozialismusregion, otherwise it’s just sparkling fascism

Greens and SPD never had a majority in any poll at the time and they weren’t even close to it. Greens might have been stronger but probably SPD weaker in turn. We might have ended up with Jamaika in the end. Don’t forget that a conservative anti-Habeck campaign would’ve also been possible. He had some unpopular positions back then, too, like giving weapons to Ukraine. What kind of insane warmonger amirite?

I think they mainly lost votes because of BSW. Putin dick-riders can now choose, their scandals usually don’t matter to their voters

They kicked out the German Nazis because they celebrated the SS, which is a no-go for French Nazis. Doesn’t make them less Nazi, just the French kind that doesn’t like to be killed by German Nazis

Different fractions, some of them are not aligned yet because they are new. However, for the biggest groups: 17 MEPs are the German AfD that was kicked out of the right-most group for being too Nazi, 11 MEPs are Fidesz (Orban) which is right-wing and the list goes on, so for the most part the position is mostly correct.

Are you serious?

Corey Harris, 44, ended up in jail through no fault of his own

No, they are not. They are part of “The Greens/European Free Alliance” political group in the parliament alongside the European Green Party and some other smaller green and regionalistic parties.

Edit: however, the quote from the article speaks about the parliamentary group not the party, therefore this would imply that Volt is on board with this statement or Damian von Boeselager is, who is the only Volt MEP to date.

Totally agree. Not being able to account for all your ammunition shows to me a lack of the basic necessary discipline and maturity to handle a weapon.

A father of two carelessly leaving ammunition lying around? That guy should neither have guns nor children. The length of the prison sentence is definitely excessive so it matches perfectly well with the US justice system.

At least in Germany, depending on contract, monthly payments vary heavily. For instance the labour agreement for the automotive industry contains a 13th salary at christmas time, vacation pay in summer, a bonus in spring depending on company performance, a potential bonus if you pass on some vacation days and more. Other contracts only have a monthly salary and no bonuses. My contract has only one bonus depending on company performance in April while my wife gets 12.8 monthly salaries (1.8x salary in November as end-of-year bonus). To compare job offers in any way, you can only go with the annual number.
