Posting this here as a place to refer back to in the future.
AfD is becoming a major force in a lot of German states. However, they cannot win the federal elections as it stands right now due to the lack of a charismatic "leader". Their main heads are too extreme and not likeable enough to campaign for the position of chancellor. That's their biggest obstacle from within.
BSW is exactly that. A party solely built around one thing only: a charismatic leader. Sahra Wagenknecht is sufficiently likeable, young enough and has a lot of experience in the political realm.
It won't be long before the AfD (or a faction thereof) and BSW will close the horseshoe to join forces, effectively combining best of both worlds. The one stop shop for conservative, protest and regular voters alike combined with a popular face that has serious chances of campaigning as chancellor.
I hope I'm wrong. But it's out there now to check against what's to come.
