Nach der Bundestagswahl steigen die Werte der AfD weiter. Nun überholt die Partei zum zweiten Mal bei einer Erhebung CDU/CSU. Und das Wählerpotenzial scheint noch größer zu sein.
I’d say that the politicians, at least the ones higher up, are captured by the people with the money, who make sure to keep them compliant by giving them bribes (both legal and illegal), as well as cushy jobs once their time in politics is over. It’s not a failure of the system, it’s capitalism working as intended.
This is true at least for the major parties like CDU and SPD in Germany. The Greens too these days, there’s very little conviction left in them. FDP is the only party that would change nothing if the bribery stopped, they are true sickos and in it for the love of the game. but with most of them, I really believe they are just cynically accepting that changing anything would be hard, while taking the money is so so very easy.

Exactly, Germany is a capitalist country, and as such the government represents primarily the interests of the capital owning class.
