Are we, broadly speaking as intelligent sentient beings, better off with AfD instead of NPD in the Saxon Landtag ? If they steal their voters, don't they also steal their ideology and policies ? The general perception I had so far was that they were a more acceptable far-right alternative. Is that so ?
Oh and of course, my pessimistic prediction of SPD overtaking die Linke was way off. It can apparently stem from two things : 1. I always tend to forget that in the East die Linke is a well established party of management, and it's rather the SPD that's the newcomer ; and 2. the Saxon SPD seems to suck friggin balls.
Yes when the more "moderate" extremist parties are the more viable ones, they tend to pull voters more than ideology from other extremist parties. People tend to adapt their ideology to the parties, who are closest to them.
