Or, in German, the six words?  Wir mussen dem Existenz unserer Volkes und ein Zukunft für weisser Kinder [secure]en”? That’s more than six worms. I deliberately translated it using only my rusty brain and not by using Google Translate - which is why I don’t know what “secure” is, and why I might have unremembered some of the grammatical bits. P.S. Goo Translate says “Wir müssen die Existenz unseres Volkes und eine Zukunft für weiße Kinder sichern” so I got it mostly right. But I didn’t get the ß wrong - I deliberately wrote ss because I don’t like the letter ß anyway. The main thing you should've known is that the feminine noun "Existenz" can't possible take the article "dem". Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann. Die Zeit ist reif für ein bisschen Zärtlichkeit. Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann. That's 14 words. Pity, had it contained 14 syllables then it could've been a haiku. As favoured by the Germans' friends during a certain 20th-century conflict... |

My nolij of German isn’t good enough to know what gender “Existenz” is, and I was even a bit rusty and uncertain about the full declension of der / die / das / dem / der etc. |

I think he means the sieg heil chant, which repeats three times. I think he means "Ein thingy, Ein doo-dah, Ein whatsit". I subscribe to the more Quakerly: nae priests, nae bishops, nae hierarchy! |

The CDU are deeply unimpressed by BSW attempts to insert themselves into their federal-level foreign policy.
Meanwhile, it's almost funny watching the media try to attack a bunch of ethnic-minority Marxists as closet far-right white supremacists.

Latest Brandenburg poll:
AfD 27 per cent, SPD 23, CDU 18, BSW 15.
No other party is on more than 5. The Greens are on the edge on 5, Linke on 4, BVB/FW 3 and the FDP aren't registering. BVB/FW and Greens currently hold one direct mandate each- that polling would suggest that neither will hold on, and both will be out. Die Linke already hold no direct seats. The loss of the Green seat would not be a great look as it is the home seat of Annalena Baerbock, the federal seat being held by Olaf Scholz (two notable carpetbaggers in the same seat is impressive).
The current government is SPD-CDU-Green. If the Greens survive then surely this continues.

This has probably been asked before. Has the FDP ever won a direct constituency seat at either a federal or state election? I just spent some time searching for the answer and couldn't find anything.

At Federal level they won twelve in 1949, fourteen in 1953, one in 1957 and one in 1990 when they won Halle. |

If they win Brandenburg, it'll be interesting to see where the AfD win next - Prussia? Lower Saxony? Baden? Konigsberg? Schleswig-Holstein? I'm joking of course, but these were top state names. In all seriousness, there are surely plenty of right wing nationalists in Konigsberg now - it's a Russian colony, and brimming with nukes, IIRC.

Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein still exist and the AfD is unlikely to top the poll in either Bundesland anytime soon, if indeed that is what's meant by winning even though they'd be unlikely to lead a state government even under that scenario.
Of the rest, Brandenburg basically *is* (core) Prussia, Baden was obviously merged into Baden-Württemberg in the 1950s and the land lost to Kremlin control in the east was called Königsberg, not Konigsberg.

Thinking about Prussia (abolished in 1947 I believe) reminds of the Reichsbuerger movement. They tried to coup Germany. On a separate point, I wonder how the Hohenzollerns would vote if they could (do they believe in democracy these days?). |

How Germany and the FDP could do with a politician of that calibre now. And his successor as foreign minister was Klaus Kinckel, another big beast. |

The current government is SPD-CDU-Green. If the Greens survive then surely this continues. Interesting is this poll, when compared to the last one conducted by this pollster:  So SPD has been increasing by 4%. Some argued, that the antiAfD-vote would - different to CDU in Saxony&Thuringia - not assemble behind the party leading the unpopular federal TrafficCoalition. But regional Woidke has so often distanced himself from Scholz... Though the loss of Brandenburg's PMship could result in Scholz, who represents after all a BrandenburgConstituency, stepping down in favour of the - presently - far more popular Pistorius. Thus a regional loss might mean a federal win and a - likely - regional retain a federal defeat... |
