Why are they hating on Putin for doing it yet wanting to do the same?

Please ban them, they would gain so many supporters from a ban. I would love that shit bro.

Banning a political party does not make the people who vote for it to disappear. Better take a look in the mirror and evaluate what you can do different, so people will vote for you again.

If we cannot win in fair elections against them, ban them.
Puffin_fan on
That is absurd.
The problems of the hard right wing in Europe are creations of the control of the states by the central banks.
Remove the power of the central banks, and the hard right wing will wither away with no further control on the media
there is so little real awareness of the influence that central banks have not only with respect to tariffs and civil penalties, but also with respect to IT monopolies

> Last Thursday, AfD politician Jürgen Treutler, by virtue of being the parliament’s oldest member at 73, was entitled to chair the first session of the new legislative period. Treutler performed this duty by refusing to allow motions to be passed and votes to be taken, essentially blocking the center-right Christian Democrats (CDU) and other parties from nominating a candidate for the speaker’s job.
Can any German explain the significance of this? Is there any precedent to blocking motions and votes? Why would the AfD do that considering it seems only to legitimise claims that they are anti-democratic?

Haha yes, that’ll do it.

There is a reason people vote for them…. that reason won’t go away just because you ban them.
We had the same issue in Denmark many years ago. Our far right grew out if issues on immigration, on top of that they appealed to the elderly part of the population with a lot of waving Dannebrog and “everything were better in the old days” and better care for retired people.
So, some sort of combination of socialist and nationalistic party.
And since none of the other parties kept disregarding the issues, they grew. But besides people who were tired of the old parties that did nothing….. there was also the extremist riff-raff, though the party in Denmark has always tried to suppress that part of it.
After a few good elections, the other parties caught on, and a harsher line towards illegal immigration, or immigrants in general (especially when Muslim or African) has been adapted by almost all parties. Making people lose interest in the far right party.
One election, they had the opportunity to join into a government, but they elected not to….. felt they had more influence as opposition….. that made people really lose faith in them.
this is just plain dumb. Change the policy instead of banning political parties.

At some point it leads to no voting at all as this is the same as saying “people are to dumb to vote for the ‘right’ party”.

other parties should pay more attention to immigration. Otherwise stupid racist fucks will get to govern and that won’t end up well.

Address the issues why people vote for these parties first. Banning them will just confirm to them that the mainstream parties won’t listen to them and radicalise them further.

The call is about wether the far right party AfD is legaly acting according to the German constitution. or not. If there is a violation of the laws by the AfD a ban will be taken into consideration. Please Remember: Members of the party express their xeno- and homophobic mindset openly.

Setting the precedent to ban parties is a bad road down to interfering with democracy. That’s opening Pandora’s box. If a party is shit, it should be easy to beat them in elections.
StrengthToBreak on
You must ban AfD, because if they ever came to power they might do tyrannical, anti-democratic things like banning other political parties. /s
AfD isn’t the real problem. The problem is that out of touch technocrats in Germany simply don’t want to deal with the reality of democracy: that even people who you think are stupid or immoral are entitled to be heard and to be reflected in your policies.

So people fearing the “far right” or fascism, are now calling for the ban of a political party they disagree with…? Sounds a little fascist to me.

Maybe there should be an EU wide ban on parties whose leaders [accept funding and talking points from Russia](https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-mep-maximilian-krah-alternative-for-germany-afd-russia-china-payments-spying/).
