Supportive German take on Brexit

[Nothingcomesforfree]

Dr Alice Weidel Leader of the Alternative for Germany Party, successful businesswoman around the world and forthright lesbian.

I thought her speech was very interesting. Her take on Brexit not really explored much in the UK. So Germany prefers us to be allies and the French can take a running jump?

She's great. So articulate.

Thanks for posting. I often think a range of European views are missing on these threads.

The French can take a running jump?? I thought this was about the alliance between France and Germany?

Clearly not. Germany and the Uk have a tag team going. They like a common market and sovereign nation They Germans appear to not support the French vision.
I was surprised to hear that blocking votes were stopping other countries taking community funds. The main contributors to the EU seriously worried.

Alternative for Germany are an extreme right wing group with some utterly abhorrent policies.
Alice Wiedel is indeed articulate but it you take a step back and look at what her and her party really stand for, you’ll be horrified.

AfD stand a relatively high chance of winning the 3 seats in the Bundesrat that are coming up for renewal soon in the formerly "east" part of the country, and influence in the Bundesrat will make the passing of laws by the Bundestag very difficult. Yes there are aspects to the AfD's policies (opposition to same sex marriage and adoption for instance) which many find off-putting, but they are gaining traction due to their views on the EU. Just my read of the mood, but it seems that some people are willing to overlook some aspects of their manifesto because they have claimed the opposition to federalisation, banking union etc. as theirs.

Well, if AfD are in favour of it, that's a good reason to oppose it. They're fascists.

Anti Islam, anti feminist, anti Semitic and with links to neo-nazism.

Nope, no thanks.

The AfD is just another run of the mill eurosceptic fascho party. If you think they are in any position to help you with Brexit then you’re, at best ,uninformed, but more likely a bot.

@sparklingSaskia, so anyone who disagrees with your view is a bot? 😳

No.

Freesias of course not. But thinking that AfD are a sensible and decent bunch of people does suggest a lack of critical thinking. Yes, lots of people vote for them. That doesn't make them any less revolting.
