Nor is it healthy for 20 per cent of the electorate to be permanently demonised as threats to democracy and unworthy of participation in government. Some AfD representatives have used phrases which, though innocuous in themselves, are associated with Nazi propaganda. But the party’s leader, Alice Weidel, is far more circumspect. Instead, she argues that Nazism should not dominate the way that Germany sees its history, and that Germans today should not be expected to continue shouldering the burden of guilt. Many Germans, particularly young Germans, share this view.
The chances are that a coalition government will be put together before Easter. Whether it will last a full four-year term is more questionable. Maybe before the next federal election the CDU will look again at its so-called firewall against the AfD. Rather than simply deriding it as a group of neo-Nazis, it may make more sense to set out what exactly the AfD has to do to make itself a party with whom co-operation might be possible. Simply ignoring it, or the voters it represents, may soon become untenable.
