Why I Think The AfD Party Is On The Gain?

 I don't think this is really rocket-science or hard to grasp.  They seem to put the top ten positions taken by the coalition government (SPD, Green and FDP), and throw a dart at the chart about every month, and add a opposition point to their balance sheet.  

They say things, which the CDU/CSU folks seem to be unwilling to say (to the extreme), and this attracts the fringe folks at all spectrums.  

Now....for the blunt part of this discussion....just because AfD has a opposition point....does not mean it makes great sense or seems logical.  

If I were to look at the 16-point ranking in national polls, and where the gains have occurred (coming from)....almost every party has had some folks voice some support of AfD positions.  It's not a right or left thing.

Is there some max-out point to this spiral?  You would think there is a max point, but I can't say it's 18-or-20 percent.

Making things into a mini-crisis for the 2025 national election?  I don't think you'd really want to reach that point and realize that AfD could pull 22-percent of the national vote....not winning but forcing some extreme coalition forming issues.  

So what's really going on?  I would suggest that the SPD and Green folks have picked some extreme points on various political topics.....which around one-third of the German public just aren't that agreeable upon.  This middle-of-the-road political stance of the past fifty years?  It's drifted off-course.
