Well....up in Bremen....there's been efforts to prevent the AfD Party (far-right) to participate in regional politics.
This BIW group (translates basically to 'Citizens in Anger' Party.....has been around since 2004, and since the effort started up to contain or limit AfD in Bremen city politics (remember, Bremen is a city-state....in the same way that Bavaria or Hessen functions)....the party has filled the 'gap'.
Why I bring up BIW? Well....this weekend is the Bremen City election.
Presently with polling....it appears that the CDU and SPD are neck-and-neck (SPD at 30-percent and CDU at 27-percent). Between the two....they will make up around 55-to-60 percent of the voting. The Greens? Pulling around 13-percent, and the Linke Party is marginally at 9-percent.
Then BIW comes up. Presently, their numbers are near 9-percent. Not a big deal, but it demonstrates that as much as the parties do to hinder AfD voters.....there are always alternate ways to restack the deck.
This Bremen election meaning much? No....but if you figure Sunday night chatter off both ARD and ZDF public TV folks.....it'll be discussed for several hours that evening.
