Anything right of the Far left will always appear far right

'Far right' give me a break, these are just people fed up with the 'far left' people that have been trashing their country.

Far right....more like correct and morally right...the exact meaning of the word "right" its fitting indeed.

[BluesRockTommy]

The young people in Germany are now also voting for the AfD!

It's taken a lot to get Germans to vote for a right wing party (for obvious historical reasons), but the EU 'project' and Mutti's insane immigration policy have managed it.

Interesting how MSM always labels non socialist, non liberal as "far right".

[UnhingedJessie]

[bigCyril]

They are right not far right, gutter press smear.

[keithhooper]

Not "far right", just "right so far" .

[rbir]

Democracy at work. The EU and Germany can be proud people can have their choice of politicians.

[JChang]

Amazing. Germans that are not disgusted with waving their own flag.

[janpetersen]

The term 'far-right' today only covers those who stand to the right of the center in politics. I do that myself.

[craigs]

Far right? These days that only means someone to slightly to the right of Chairman bloody Mao!

[mariafrost]

Well done Germany. Stop this EU madness.
The EU will destroy this continent.

[Fat_Cat_]

Stupid propagadist label there in your title, as usual. We're not stupid. We see you.

[lewis]

Traditional values and beliefs = far right to MSM.

[Terencetembre.]

Far right is it, yeah right, I wonder why they're doing so well, a real head scratcher that one.

[alex-EWHU]

You say far right to describe ordinary people that are sick and tired of the far left.

[grahamwood]

The over use of the term "far right" is particularly loved by the BBC I note. Far Right as I see it nowadays just means"not left"
