Brexit worked out so well for the UK…
Rotfl
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The leader of Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland has said her party will campaign for a Brexit-style vote on EU membership if it comes to power, calling the UK’s departure from the bloc a model for its largest member.
Alice Weidel told the Financial Times in an exclusive interview that the UK decision would be “dead right” for Germany, and that a “Dexit” would boost the country’s self-determination.
Street protests in Germany against the AfD in reaction to the revelations only grew in momentum over the weekend, with more than a million people estimated to have participated in 90 different demonstrations across the country.
Police were forced to order at least two events, in Hamburg and Munich, to come to a premature halt due to the large numbers, with turnouts far greater than predicted either by authorities or organisers.
However, legal and political opposition to pursuing such a ban, including from Scholz, and his deputy, the economics minister, Robert Habeck, is high, due to the dangers of it backfiring and galvanising more support for the party, should it fail.
It marks the further fragmentation of the German political landscape coming in the same month that Sahra Wagenknecht broke from the far-left Die Linke to form her own new leftwing anti-immigrant party.
