The Greens have become the “punching bag” of the Left and the Right
Things just keep getting worse for the Greens in Germany. After two terrible performances in recent state elections the Party “crashed out of the state parliament” in the Brandenburg region of Germany (which surrounds Berlin). Results were so awful, the two current leaders of the German Greens have jointly stepped down.
The Greens won a mere 4% of the vote in the region, not even reaching the minimum 5% required to win a parliamentary seat in the State election. About 70% of their voter base had abandoned them in the last five years. In Thuringia, the entire traffic light ruling coalition of three parties barely amassed 10% of the vote collectively.
The right-wing AfD (Alternative for Germany) party “keeps rising despite efforts to stop the party” says Nette Nöstlinger at Politico, slightly baffled. The establishment used the nastiest names they could think of, and it didn’t work:
The AfD keeps rising despite efforts to stop the party
Germany’s mainstream leaders have made a concerted effort to stop the rise of the AfD by warning voters of the party’s growing extremism, with some leaders even calling it a Nazi party.
We’ve heard this before:
State-level domestic intelligence authorities have classified the local branches of the party in both Saxony and Thuringia as extremist organizations aiming to undermine German democracy.
The nasty names are backfiring, because no one is listening anymore:
That points to a core problem that won’t be easy for centrist parties to grapple with — a growing mistrust of the centrists and the country’s institutions that has fomented anti-establishment fervor across a large swath of the country.
In other words, even as many centrist leaders and institutions in Germany warn of the AfD’s extremism, many voters have simply stopped listening. In fact, the approach may be backfiring by alienating AfD voters.
When the TV commentators called the AfD “extremist” the leader in Thuringia said “Please stop stigmatizing me”. “We are the number one people’s party in Thuringia. You don’t want to classify one-third of Thuringian voters as right-wing extremists, do you?” But of course, the TV commentariat probably did want to do exactly that…
Bullying is brittle. When it fails, it crumbles into anti-matter, because there was nothing but nastiness to fall back on.
Even The Guardian has noticed that the Greens have a crisis:
In the recent election campaigns, it [The Greens] often appeared to be the punchbag for parties across the spectrum. Accusations were rife that the party was trying to “dictate” the lives of ordinary Germans – from which type of heating system to use, to which car to drive – with the BSW and AfD going so far as to compare the Greens to the Communist regime of the former German Democratic Republic.
There is hope. Young voters are abandoning the party faster than any other age bracket:
The party has also lost a larger proportion of its younger voters at recent elections than any other party. In Sunday’s Brandenburg poll, for instance, it saw its support in the 16-to-24 age bracket drop by 24 percentage points, a bigger fall than in any other age range. —
Eugyppius says — Something strange and unexpected is happening to the Greens — “Everyone hates them”.
The Crisis of the Greens and the Future of the Left
I have been thinking a lot about the Greens since their drubbing in the recent German elections. Something strange and unexpected is happening to them – something that even two years ago I wouldn’t have predicted. They are bleeding support; they are on the defensive and suddenly everybody hates them. In East Germany you could even say that they are in outright collapse. The party of the future, the party of the youth, the party at the cutting edge of progressivism, is now withering on the vine. And I suspect that this is not just happening in Germany. It may be happening here faster than it is in other countries, but the Greens are an international phenomenon, and Green politics are in trouble in many places beyond the Federal Republic.
(Paywalled)
Votes for the Greens have been stolen from both sides
The collapse in popularity is about the climate, the heat-pumps, the cars, the energy prices — but it’s also about immigration and the war. A new leftist force has appeared from nowhere in the last few months, run by a former communist, but wanting to curb immigration:
In some ways, the biggest winner of the night was the populist-left Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW), which is led by a former member of East Germany’s communist party. The BSW finished third in both states, a notable result for a party that only formed several months ago.
The party, which merges traditional right-wing stances on immigration and other social issues, has repeatedly called for an end to German military aid for Ukraine and negotiations with Putin — a view for which there is much sympathy in Germany’s formerly communist East. — Politico
It’s part of the Great Realignment of politics. The new force on the left attacks the Greens for being arrogant and out of touch with the workers:
Is Germany’s rising superstar so far left she’s far right?
James Angelos, Politico, August 26th, 2024
Sahra Wagenknecht’s brand of “left conservatism” is upending German politics ahead of critical elections in the east.
Listening to Sahra Wagenknecht, Germany’s hard-left icon, you could be forgiven for coming away with the impression that the greatest threat to democracy is “lifestyle leftists” nursing lattes in reusable cups while shopping for organic kale at a Berlin farmers’ market.
Such well-off, eco-friendly urban bohemians hold what they deem to be “morally impeccable” views about everything from Ukraine to climate change, she says, and then impose those beliefs over regular people with draconian zeal.
Sahra Wagenknecht’s brand of “left conservatism” is very tailored to East Germany, but some of it will translate widely. Uncontrolled immigration is a hot button everywhere. She attacks the influx of asylum seekers as a threat to the welfare state, which, she says, requires a “certain degree of homogenity to function”. She attacks the gender bender transformations as something that benefits the big pharmaceutical companies. All of this will resonate across the political divide. At one point last year, the leader of the AfD in Thuringia was so impressed with her, he invited her to join the party in a speech.
The pure environmental Greens are a luxury bubble that no one can afford anymore. Those days are over.

Hope this is an indication for imminent national elections in Australia. But I doubt it. Some sections of the electorate still have a love affair with this Party which masquerades as a “green” Party, but which is actually a left wing collective. They particularly seem to resonate with our youth which regularly turn up in demonstrations promoting wildly stupid claims that “we” are killing the planet. It reminds me of a Party that sprang up years ago ( now thankfully defunct) which called itself the Democratic Party. It too was Left Wing, but many innocently voted for it believing that it stood for Democracy. You can fool some of the people some of the time….but….
510
And that same party, assuming we are talking about the same popular party that came to power in Germany in 1933 also prided itself on its “green” policies, and even windmills and hydrogen. Its leader was even an avid vegetarian and promoted it to others just like Gangrenes do today.
Mmm…

Bob Brown modelled the Australian Greens on the European Greens policies and agenda’s, there was a story written by the Quadrant years ago after interviewing Brown and some other guy , it was disturbing stuff .
If you can find it still it was called “the greens in their own words “ – from memory.

I doubt it too. Australians willingly gave up their freedom for security and now accept being told what to do by any misfit deemed “of a higher standing”. The convict and Ten Pound Pom heritage shows.
332
Australia started as a free range prison and so that’s how it will end – if we don’t get rid of the Lib/Lab/Green Uniparty and elect some conservatives.
381
Don’t forget the Nationals. They have Little to be Proud of.
160
A nice play on words. Clever.
100
Before we slag off too much at Australians let’s just remember that our current situation is nowhere near as bad as the Germans are suffering. We have an immigration crisis, but it’s not like Europe’s:
Solingen stabbing comes amid steep rise in knife crime in Germany
New knife attack wounds local German politician
(An AfD politician)
Syrian stabs family of five. Another is alleged to have stabbed four year old girl at supermarket.
Part of the rage against the Greens is because they are seen as making the radioactive hot button immigration crisis worse:
The party has also suffered from the perception that it is blocking moves to restrict the number of asylum-seekers entering Germany, at a time of mounting public concern about irregular immigration.”
I’m over the convict narrative. Descendants of those convicts, early settlers and survival-farmers are probably the most anti-authoritarian people in Australia. 30% of current Australians weren’t even born here. How many more are only second or third gen?
Australians may be asleep at the wheel, but it’s only because life here has been too damn good.
180
” but it’s only because life here has been too damn good”
One of my grandfathers (M) was killed in a mining accident at age 43.
My great grandfather was working in a mine from the age of 10 in Wales and in Australia was down the mine with his father and older brother at 13yrs.
Yep, too good, almost heaven.
50
I’ve got grandparent stories of hardship too. But I’m talking about the last 50 years in Australia.
90
Jo,
You’re looking at Germany which has more than three times our population but we mustn’t forget last April’s Bondi Shopping mall event. Inspired by recent incomer behavior.
And, there’s no way I’d go to the Northern Territory or that big rock in the centre of Australia.
Then there’s the ongoing agro in Victoria, constant assault and knife wielding.
Both of my parents had it very tough.

Evening Vicki,
I don’t think it’s fair to blame the voters.
I think the Greens have been successful in preference harvesting and/or getting elected in electorates where “none of the above” would be the voters’ preferred option. And this is the result of a failure in our voting system which requires us to put a number in every square when voting for the (Australian) House of Representatives.
e.g.
Assume 5 candidates on the ballot paper – 2 independent, 1 Green, 1 Labour and 1 Liberal. If I want to vote for the Independents, but not the Labour or Liberals for some reason all I can do is number the squares:
1 Ind #1;
2 Ind #2;
3 Green !!!!!!!!!!;
4 Liberal; and
5 Labour.
Then, if one of the independents doesn’t win, my next preference goes to the Green candidate who can sound preferable to the other two at voting time.
That is why I advocate optional preferential voting (as is available in both NSW State and local council elections) so I can avoid voting for the candidates who I think are unacceptable.
Cheers,
Dave B
100
Together with optional preferential voting,I wonder whether every ballot paper should include a ‘no-one’ option. eg, you could vote 1, 2, 3, with 3 being ‘no-one’. If ‘no-one’ wins the vote, then no-one is elected. It could get complicated, but maybe it’s worth considering??
50
There would be quite a few vacant seats in parliament.
Nah, not really, but there should be.
Would be interesting if if “no-one” topped the vote nationally.
30
I wonder whether the recent decision by Tanya Plibersek approving coal mines is a sign that the penny has dropped: Greens are electoral toxin and no matter what the Libs do they won’t get green or teal preferences. If Labor stays glued to the greens it’s going to hurt them electorally as people switch away. No matter what the reason, I applaud the Plibersek decision, it is clearly really good for the country (and that’s unusual in Oz politics).
10
In Australia the Federal Greens are an essential partner with Labor as their numbers are needed to get draconian legislation through.
Numbers:
Australian Labor Party (government) 25
Coalition (opposition) 30
Australian Greens 11
Pauline Hanson’s One Nation 2
Jacqui Lambie Network 1
United Australia Party 1
Independents 6
210
Most ALP seats are only possible with Green Preferences. Most Coalitions seats are absolute majority.
As Malcolm Turnbull realised, a deal with the Greens would wipe out Labor completely. But Malcolm’s Liberals(tm) failed completely and the deal fell apart, costing Turnbull every one of Abbott’s additional seats.
The country is crying out for a true conservative party. And only Pauline Hanson has been a true conservative.
What we have in modern Australia is a pile of professional politicians who have never had another job.
So like Kamala, their policy is ‘whatever’.
If Dutton could channel Abbott and take a firm conservative stand, as he eventually did on the Voice, he would repeat Abbott’s feat and sweep the country. Then perhaps we could address the terrible plight of aborigines, mass immigration and the requriement for cheap electricity.
As Donald Trump promised, he would halve electricity prices overnight. A Federal government which wiped out all the Green certificates, the 35% CO2 tax on all big companies, all those ‘clean energy’ departments would sweep to power and also halve electricity cost overnight. No more transmission lines. The whole disaster would come to a shuddering halt. And just moving to HELE coal burning would halve CO2 quickly. But more importantly, would make our coal last twice as long. And build pipelines, especially for gas.
560
We also have Senator Babet from the United Australia Party in Federal Parliament and the Libertarian Party elsewhere.
380
We need to take what we can get and get organised. The ABC and captive media will never mention a smart conservative party, it’s like Kryptonite. So by definition, as long as we wait for one to “get in the news” we are chasing a fantasy.
Pick a party that already exists and get out and help them raise their game. The Greens have been doorknocking for decades. Conservatives tend to talk themselves into doing nothing.
180
High energy costs massively disproportionately hit the poor. Deliberate importation of replacement populations, massively disproportionately hit the poor.
The supposed “left” of politics are increasingly right wing fascists … who hate the poor, hate the working class, indeed, there’s very few except the journalists and academics they don’t hate. It’s no wonder they are losing support.
300
Agree, except fascism is socialism in bed with business. The NAZIs were the workers party socialists, backed by Mrs Krupp.
Communism and Fascism only differ in who owns the means of production. Then conservatism. And then maybe a rare right wing, really a South American phenomnon.
Both extremes are military dictatorships. Lenin lost the election, so he took over anyway with the help of the Navy from Kronstadt. And two years later he murdered the lot in one night and their families, 30,000 people. Hitler was a minority government but once he had the support of the Catholic conservatives, he banned all political parties and locked everyone up in the original concentration camps. For political enemies, not Jews.
The idea that murderous racism and military dictatorships are only right wing is a myth. Often you see the rare ‘far right’. Maybe 20 of them posing like Goths for a photo op. This is not a political force.
The twentieth century proved that Communism and Fascism are the problem as hundreds of millions were murdered in the name of justice. And what is happening in the US/EU/UN today is classic Fascism. And as usual, they label everyone else as right wing, extreme right wing fascists, Hitlers. And their black shirted, black masked violent thugs call themselves AntiFA. Of course. Standard false flag practice.
330
‘ … military dictatorships are only right wing is a myth.’
China and Russia are essentially left wing fascists.
72
Fascists are all left wing. Fascism was an Italian variation on Socialism adopted by Mussolini and then by Hitler.
Russia and China are old fashioned total control Communists. Governments own and control the businesses. As Jack Ma owner of Alibaba can testify after he vanished for six months. And they pretend to have elections like Democratic countries. And pretend to have free markets, except ultimately everything is owned and controlled by Generals. Perhaps the Eastern Oligarchs in Russia far from Moscow are reasonably independent.
The economic boom in China happened under and after Deng Xioping who tried liberalizing businesses against the rules of communism. A sort of Chinese fascism.
But this has all been savagely dragged back into total Communist control by President Xi, with a predictable collapse in profitability and incentive. I have read that half of the billionaires of ten years ago are in jail today.
130
What Marx never envisaged was consumerism. This all happened after WWII. By making the poor rich, it made the rich richer.
Consumerism was a revolution unforseen by the French/German philosphers. Like the internet.
Prior to that the only hope for the enslaved masses, serfs and workers in the Dark Satanic Mills was to seize control of the means of production.
America’s consumer revolution was mass production for civilian consumption. Swords into ploughshares. Stoves, hot water services, vacuum cleaners, fast food, cars, motor bikes, civilian aircraft and entertainment, Hollywood, Disney and now social media, robotics and AI. Blue jeans and Coca Cola.
Russia and China finally compromised, but everyone is on a short leash.

Jeff Bezos is a great example of what an individual with an idea can achieve in modern times. Amazon turns 30 this year. Bezos has tremendous wealth, all built on a service idea over a few decades.

Jeff Bezos, Amazon, the United States Central Intelligence Agency, and The Washington Post media company are enmeshed together in the USA linked-in uniparty deep state establishment.
Some quotes from 11 years ago when Bezos bought WaPo and a sweetheart deal with the CIA:
“The Washington Post has really been the newspaper of the bipartisan consensus.” – Jeff Cohen
“Amazon is a company that feels no pain. They’ve, as far as I can tell, never made money. … So, when you see him taking over The Washington Post and you wonder is he going to be able to monetize it, is he going to make it profitable, he probably doesn’t care,” Johnson says. – Dennis Johnson, publisher of Melville House.
Even former CIA official Ray McGovern has expressed concerns about the Post’s failure to disclose its relationship with the agency, saying that in the intelligence world, such a relationship is called an “agent of influence.”

Amazon reports a profit as below:

‘ … half of the billionaires of ten years ago are in jail today.’
Probably true, the other half have emigrated with their families, settling in places like Greece.
‘A sort of Chinese fascism.’
After the death of Mao and the Gang of Four incarceration, they decided to tinker with capitalism. It went swimmingly until Xi took the helm and decided to turn the system around, but it has unravelled with a collapse of the real estate sector, which is spreading to the banks.
To prevent the economy imploding he has decided to offer cash handouts as a stimulus, which is unlikely to lift a sluggish economy.
Life in China after Xi steps down, I predict Taiwan style democracy with Western freedoms.
50
All of the mess in Germany is really confusing and I wouldn’t have a clue what to make of it.
Obviously the end of the clueless, dangerous Greens is a bonus and immigration is starting to bite everywhere and hopefully more people will try to understand their so called dangerous CC fantasy.
Who knows where this will end and the focus will now be on the US elections on the 5th of November. If the Harris loony wins we’ll know that the USA is on the march to Communism.
260
Neville,
Either that or a second Civil War
130
Will we? I will always have doubts about the US elections. USA still makes stuff and needs to make stuff because China is losing interest in holding US debt.
50
This is serious.
Methinks they have become unpopular because they have failed to show sufficient commitment to the cause.
There is only one course of action.
The must immediately all go en masse and glue their genitalia to a highway.
No more wishy washy hands.
Of course, it will require a struggle session for each to determine their genitalia de jour before the action can be taken.
240
Is that a case of “If in doubt use a strap-on”?
100
Gives new meaning to the term squatters.
120
If you can persuade this group to take this course of action, I’ll send them a box of Tarzan’s Grip

The common thread that ties in so-called right wing parties of Europe (AfD, Le Pen etc) is their commitment to welfare. Remember they are socialistic by nature and history and quite like government intrusion in their lives. I’ve always taken the classical view that right wing means acceptance and protection of the status quo – namely the monarchy.
50
The monarchy? The monarchy are just an ornament.
I am only half joking when I say that I can imagine few things more satisfactory for a Real Australian than having the Big Boss living at the furthest point on the globe.
80
Ornaments they may well be but Australia as a Democracy wouldn’t last. Communism in word if not in deed would take over in very short order.
50
But whatever happens, hands off the ‘welfare’. The government must never stop giving the people money they haven’t earned.
120
Uber,
Just as well you are being sarcastic.
I applaud you.
50
The Germans are obviously not happy. And they rightly blame the Greens.
The world’s biggest car industry is under threat. Energy is not only expensive, it is in short supply.
And the war in Ukraine is going nowhere while the EU and US politicians want to attack Russia directly. Again.
Has there ever been a war which was not started by politicians?
But they also see the Baltic states, Poland and Hungary slamming the doors on new migration and ejecting
illegals. It’s a hand grenade exploding every day in Stockholm and immigration has reversed. No one wants
to learn Swedish and the violence is extreme and ‘no go’ areas abound. It’s also very cold.
So what has been achieved other than potentially WWIII unarmed against a nuclear Russia?
Obviously even the young people have had enough. I expect France is not far behind, despite Macron’s incredible balancing act
to keep conservatives out of power. That could fall over any day.
All the Green have done is wreck the joint in true Communist style. And half of Germany knows very well what that looks like. Again.
2025 may see a Conservative revolution across Europe and the US. It’s about time. Now the Brits need a true Conservative party, as do Australians.
310
And extreme weather events, storms, floods, droughts, record hot days are not Global Warming and certainly not man made Global Warming. They are just the weather. Man made CO2 driven rapid Armageddon Global Warming has run for 36 years. It’s over.
230
Besides, here is the UAH temperature for the last 44 years
The temperature in 2023 was identical to that in 1980. So what’s the problem? Why are Green and even conservative politicians wrecking the joint while claiming they are science driven?
And for completeness, look at CO2 over the same period in a world which now has 500,000 Giant windmills. Can you see any human activity especially when CO2 output is rocketing, some 4000% higher than 1900?
Man Made CO2 drive Global Warming was invented by Al Gore and James Hansen along with the IPCC in 1988. It’s literally history now. It didn’t happen. That’s obvious even in tree hugging Germany. Coal is free and 100% natural.
190
The Germans first stuffed it up when they tried to go full bore on ‘Renewables’ and turn off their Nuclear Power Plants. Then Gas prices went up and Nord Stream got nobbled. Now the Germans import electricity from France with the electricity being generated by French Nuclear Power Plants.
Absolute Madness.
200
Aren’t we Aussies clever? (sic). We voted in the Greens to have the balance of power in our government. Then to add further stupidity, we vote in the Teal party in significant numbers at first try. The Teals, which really are just upper class Greens with too much money. Let’s hope the same voting German trends spread to this country, but I don’t think it would have much effect any way. For example, Adam Bandt (Greens) represents the federal electorate of Melbourne. If suddenly the voters were dissatisfied with the Greens they would most likely revert back to voting ALP (Labor) anyway. Which, based on policies, is basically no different.
160
Political systems collapse slowly, then suddenly.
People tolerate a great deal, right up until they don’t.
At a certain point, tolerance becomes anger. Much like a battered spouse or abused co-worker.
There’s a limit in the stretch of the rubber band, and methinks it is here, now.
220
Albo and Co are sweating on a similar event in Australia while keeping an eye on a second coming of Trump! Peter Dutton too is not free and clear because he continues to pander to the WEF and NWO. The man is gutless “all belt and no trousers”. That leaves us with Conservative defections/National and the cross bench, sans Teals!
If Labor does manage to retain the Treasury Bench it’ll be in minority which will only lead to Open Borders and all the financial pain that goes with it!
120
Nigel Farage has made the move in the UK and is gaining ground.
Trump is doing OK and gives some hope.
Peter Dutton is not convincing. He has only made a slight shift in focus. He is a “greenhouse” believer. He is trying to find middle ground rather than dismantling the BS that runs deep in the Australian swamp.
Australia needs a numerate and literate leader alle to process thoughts logically. Someone who sees through the smoke and mirrors of all the UN inspired globullism.
Australia needs to withdraw from all the UN treaties. Human rights were trashed in Australia in 2020 – absolutely no regard to well-being of individuals. UN does not support free speech. The UN resolution on free speech was led by Brazil. X is now banned in Brazil because it would not comply with the censorship rules.
Three things that would have an immediate impact:
Wind down all immigration programs over the first year to zero. That includes all academic programs for foreigners.
Withdraw from all UN conventions and stop funding this aint-Aiutralian organisation.
Stop picking winners under funding globalists organisations – specifically their ABC, the BoM and the CSIRO.
I wonder if Peta Credlin will ever stand up. She has the visibility in Australia to make a difference. She has experience in ratting the Canberran swamp.
220
Rick.
I like the cut of your jib.
I am becoming aware that the worst terrorist organisation in the world is the United Nations.
I would like to see our (NZ and Aus) withdraw from the UN. Yeah, I Know. Won’t happen.
But dreams are still free.
70
I’m too old to fear the future but I doubt that can be left to the emerging younger echelon. The State has succeeded in pacifying them with cash hand outs and promises of a better future where they no longer need to work or worry about Australia. 1984 is rapidly becoming a reality!
160
Meanwhile close to home, Nedlands mayor, socialite and former ABC journalist decides to ban fossil fuel advertising within the shire. Never mind that the shire contains many petrol stations and the shire’s vehicles and garbage trucks rely on fossil fuel.
Local council takes on the fossil fuel fight
90
I pointed out in a letter to The Local paper that the recent decision to “reduce emissions” by the 2035 would, if the worst case by the IPCC (which had never been proved) applied then this would reduce the Council temperature by 0.000009℃. (in theory).
The paper printed it.
A little drip, drip wearing away the stone? Unfortunately I don’t think the local (brainwashed) teenagers read the paper.

“Is Germany’s rising superstar so far left she’s far right?”
Most “far right” movements actually started out as non-compromising leftist power of the people type movements like Fascism and NAZI’s but as they move further to the left and became more totalitarian the moderate left started calling them far right to distance themselves from their leftist beginnings.
50
And in Labor’s Danistan, Premier Jacinta Allen has publicly removed the ban on gas appliances in new houses and estates. Except that is not true.
A new law the Building Legislation Amendment and Other Matters 2024 give the government explicit power to stop even the replacement of existing gas appliances!
We are being gas lit. Or not.
“Clause 38 of the Bill will give Labor the power to prohibit a person from connecting reticulated gas to an existing building or a building under construction and prohibit a person from carrying out plumbing work in connection with installing or replacing a reticulated gas appliance in an existing building or a building under construction.”
So don’t even think about buying a new gas stove when you are renovating. You are a planet murderer.
And why would companies pay to search for gas when the Victorian Government is passing laws preventing gas use?
This is about as bad as it gets in parliament. Just lying to people. Assuming no one reads the law. Or knows about all the carbon credits, certificates and the 35% CO2 tax on everything, including trucking and plane fares.
And where does all the cash goes? That we don’t know. It’s all managed by Clean Energy Mandarins.
“There will be no carbon tax in a government I lead”. But you will all be made to suffer and and pay, pay, pay. As in Germany.
The Green crimes are all hidden in those many laws you never get to see and the media forget to report.
100
There is a petition to stop the ban on gas appliances in Victoria by the Victorian shadow energy Minister.
110
So no new gas, no coal, no nuclear. And 90% of our electricity supply is from fossil fuels? Why is our government trying to turn off all the power? The Germans have woken up. The Greens are mad and bad.
101
“We are being gas lit. Or not. ”
What a great line.

Sahra Wagenknecht wants an immediate end to hostilities in Ukraine, she is pro Kremlin. The political culture of old East German communists, with fond memories of being behind the iron curtain.

In Germany, the greens need a friend,
An S.O.S. is the message they send,
As elections of late,
Are sealing their fate,
And their power drive to a quick end.
