Bernd Lucke was at the front of the AfD political party since the very beginning. AfD took a fair amount of the FDP voters and a few CDU folks as they progressed. Today, around Germany.....AfD has roughly six-percent of the national voting audience.
The appeal of Lucke hasn't exactly been a bright star. He doesn't charm people, and some journalists have the opinion that he's more of a fraud than a leader for a political party. For political forums.....he just didn't seem to fit into the situation.
Well....this past week....AfD had a meeting and replaced Lucke as their head guy.
Yesterday, German political news noted that Lucke had a brief discussion with some reporter, and noted that he was now going to build a new political party and lead it.
Yeah.....the guy is a born politician and will not accept 'no'.
As for AfD? No one is really saying much over the changed leadership.....and if it means much. Maybe AfD has peaked at six percent and this is the highest they will ever rise. As for Lucke? Well....maybe there's enough room for another oddball political party in Germany and he's the right guy for it.
