Far Right Snuffed in German ElectionsLast week the German federal election resulted in a victory for the CDU (conservative party) ahead of the far-right party, the AfD.

As the petty squabbling continues within the party, Farage’s master plan to bring Reform into mainstream politics has hit another hurdle.
