This week, Sam and Chern unpack results from three German Landtag elections in the East of the country – Saxony, Thuringia and Brandenburg. As the AfD scored their best regional results ever, what has been key to the far right’s success in Germany? Does the Brandenburg result suggest a glimmer of hope for the SPD on the federal level? Can the CDU cooperate with the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance in Government? And can the federal coalition survive this round of poor results? All these questions and more answered in this week’s episode.
