Die Wahl von Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf ist gescheitert weil die AfD eine Kampagne begonnen hat. Das wiederum diente der Verhinderung eines Verbotsverfahrens. Alles andere (Plagiat, Position zur Selbstbestimmung der Frau, keine richterliche Erfahrung) war vorgeschoben
Warum setzen Sie sich dann nicht mit dem ursprünglichen Thema auseinander, nämlich der Angst der AfD, Brosius könne einem Parteiverbot aufgeschlossen gegenüberstehen?

This is how consociationalism (how Northern Ireland -NI- is governed) works... tax money builds new housing development, unionists claim it by fixing flags on council property, after threatening violence, and councils don't remove the flags. We learn: who governs NI? www.bbc.com/news/article...
