Well, the rise of the AfD just only is a matter of the incompetence of the others. And the fall of the SPD in their election results, it also is a result that they're no party anymore which addresses the needs of the workers even in the tinyest bit. At least the representatives of the party that are active on the federal level. The local representators sometimes aren't that bad (especially in the Ruhr area, where they're deeply rooted) and also address topics in a way which the federal representatives in Berlin would never touch. Where these would be just like another one of those cowardly fractions that are purchased and corrupted from the mouth to the asshole.
It is now pretty open which coalition actually will come out. SPD said they take the signal and don't reign with the CDU anymore for another term (well, that's also a thing of not letting the AfD become the leader of the parlimentary opposition, as they're the party with the next highest election percentage), but FDP and the Greens aren't like the very best combination ultimately. Especially the Greens might become complicated in that situation (why, it's a riddle to me, as the federal part of the party also is as conservative and purchased like the others). On the level of the federal states, coalitions with them from the side of the CDU had already been there, but they also seemed like a tightrope act - a fragile thing. So... in other words: Don't expect anything better on the level for the whole country. And then maybe you stand there again, going to the ballots, after 2 years instead of 4, which are the actual time of a term.
