Germany AfD: Right-wingers set to move further right - BBC News
The AfD, which is notorious for its fierce anti-Islam rhetoric, is slipping in the polls. The anti-immigrant platform which won it support during the refugee crisis is no longer enough to satisfy the electorate.
The party is on course to win seats in the general election but its chances of significant political success depend now on whether its members can agree on a candidate to stand against Angela Merkel and on the party's future direction.
While this weekend is officially a party conference, in truth it will be a weekend of crisis talks.
This follows on from the defeat in Holland,the eclipse of UKIP as a party and the soon to happen drubbing in France. Oh and I almost forgot little Nobby Hofer got stuffed in Austria.
The extreme right is in decline in the civilised world, we must work to ensure that they never ever become a factor.
