Merkel’s allies in the German state of Alabama Bavaria just got their heads handed to them in recent state elections:

Bavaria’s Christian Social Union, the sister party to Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union, suffered a historic loss in Germany’s wealthiest state, losing the majority it has held for much of the postwar period. Despite the ninth consecutive year of economic growth and record employment levels, the party lost votes to two rising parties on the left and right, the Greens and the Alternative for Germany.

The CSU, led by controversial Interior Minister Horst Seehofer, won 37.2 percent of the votes, according to preliminary results. It was the party’s lowest rating since 1950. The CSU was expected to win 34 percent in the latest opinion polls surveys earlier this month. In 2013, it won 47.7 percent of the votes, but still won the majority in the state’s legislature due to a complicated system of awarding seats.

You will notice that the CSU dropped by about 10%, or about ¼ of its previous vote totals, and the SPD lost about 12%, over ½ of its votes.

Establishment parties (the CSU/CDU) is taking it on the chin

Establishment parties that stand for nothing (the SPD), like what now passes for the “Center-Left” in Europe, are being destroyed.

I’m just hoping that the Greens and the Left Party, and not the neo-Fascist AFD end up on top.
