| German neo-Nazis set for poll victory |
| 2006-09-15 |
| Germany's racist neo-Nazi party is poised to make a stunning breakthrough during elections this weekend, entering a regional parliament for the second time in three years, polls suggest. According to a poll for ZDF television the far-right National Party of Germany (NPD) is likely to win 7% of the vote in elections on Sunday in the north-east state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Another Infratest poll puts the party on 6%. The projected result is above Germany's 5% hurdle - and means the far-right MPs will sit in the parliament for the first time. "We are very confident. It's extremely likely we are going to make it," Michael Andrejewski, the NPD's candidate in its stronghold town of Anklam, told the Guardian today. Mr Andrejewski claimed that voters in Germany's depressed former communist east were turning to the neo-Nazi right because they were disillusioned with mainstream politics. They were also fed up with the region's massive unemployment, he said. Wonder if they'll get much of the Muslim vote |

| #3 I don't think so. Neo Nazis are a funny breed. They are more likely to side with the Muzzies against the Jews. And reinstate holocaust denial. You just have to look at their websites and culture. Their dislike of muzzies is still secondary. Which is ridiculous as the jews are law-abiding with respect for rights of women and tolerating other religions - and education/science/technology over religious ideology. They are modern thinkers. Unlike muslims |

| #2 You're probably right, Rex. After all, it would be rather tacky if they started right out by going after the Jews. |

| #1 NS: I'm betting they turn their ire on the muzzies and set them as the new untermensche. Witness the recent display of Neo Nazis waving Isreali flags in the face of the Iranian soccer team. I never woulda bet on that. More important is the employment issue and that's right to the heart of why the muslims are there in the first place. As things continue to go south in EUrostan, we may see a lot more of this. |
