A No-Confidence Vote in Thuringian's Assembly

 Next Friday....the state of Thuringia will have a vote of no-confidence.  The current expectation?  

Well....they will vote by party lines.  The Linke Party (in charge) can count on their votes, the votes of the Greens and SPD Party.....equaling 42 votes.  

The opposing votes?  Right now....just the AfD (22).

The CDU and FDP?  They total 26.  The hint today is that they both will abstain or just skip the vote entirely.  In that scenario, the no-confidence vote would fail.

The trouble here?  Basically the AfD will say by abstaining....they were supporting the Linke Party.  Some people might tend to agree.  Presently, with polling results....the Linke Party and Greens aren't doing that well, and no-confidence vote would force another election....when they are at the weakest point.
