Best ever result for a new party and did better than expected, hardly a loss.

What's the opposite of "far right"? Why won't the mainstream media ever tell us that?

The AfD did about 2 points better than polls predicted and they got their best ever result in a single German state (27.5% in Saxony). They won an estimated 38 seats in the Saxony State Parliament, up from 14 in the last election. And that is about a third of the seats in Parliament.
