It doesn't matter which bunch of clowns have the key to no 10. It never has, and it never will if we carry on with this nonsense charade of political choice.

It's just theatre, designed to give us the illusion of choice, whilst ultimately, nothing ever improves. Our taxes are used to fund never ending wars against created opponents, the gap between rich and poor grow continually, homelessness is never remotely dealt with, life becomes ever more expensive, wages remain low, it becomes impossible to buy a house if you are 40 or below.

It is a farce, an insult and we should reject this archaic **** system.

****s, the lot of them.
Let anarchy rule! Power to the people that don't have a clue, when it suits others.
 
According to exit polls they have doubled their share. it will be the worst result for the sister party in over 60 years and a far right party will have a say in parliment.
The latest results from Bavaria show the CSU on 37.3%, the Greens on 17.7% (up 9.1%), the Freie Wahler Partie on 11.6%, AfD on 10.3%, SPD on 9.6% and the FDP on 5.0%. There is a 5% hurdle on all elections in Germany and so all of them will be in the parliament there. The Freie Wahler Partie will probably rule in coalition with the CSU. To be honest I don't know much about them (nobody does outside Bavaria) - they have some policies similar to the Greens, some similar to the CSU, some similar to most of the others. They have only been in coalitions at the local level (municipal) and so have no real uniform policies for this larger role. I would hesitate to describe them as far right - more typically Bavarian. Whatever happens my party has doubled it's vote there <cheers>
