New Political Party Forming?

 Well....yes, sort of.  Sahra Wagenknecht (of the left-leaning Linke Party) has announced that she's making up a new political party.

Name? For Reason and Justice Party.  Yeah, an odd name.

Presently, the Linke Party is sinking (probably would not get 5-percent in the next federal election).  She has some belief that she can take most of what remains, and have some odd situation that might attract AfD voters.  

Any evidence or polling of who would vote along her party standing?  No.

Would far-left-leaners and far-right-leaners party-up?  I just don't see that as a reasonable expectation.

Does Wagenknecht even attract people with her speeches?  I give her some credit.....she's probably a decent 3-star speaker.  

Here's the one odd thing....there are three eastern state elections in 2024, and they would attract a fair amount of far-left and far-right voters.  If you were timing this....yeah, it'd be the right time to bring this party to life and attract attention.
