Like it or not, the far right is heading for Germany’s Bundestag

The rise in the FDP is pretty interesting. After the coalition with Kohl they nearly disappeared, which should have been a cautionary tale for the Lib-Dems when deciding to join the Tories a few years back.

Frauke Petry’s walkout is also really something.

the CDU’s sister-party CSU and the Greens hate each other properly in public.

There is no alternative to the Jamaica coalition, so they will have to tolerate one another for the time being.
