364 votes for Merkel, 315 votes for no one at all. That’s not exactly a ringing vote of confidence. Nonetheless, that may have been the close vote in which the forces of freedom had not quite enough to save Germany. Merkel will have four more years, or more precisely three and a half, to complete her destruction of Germany and its demise as a free society. The Muslim migrant inundation will continue, and Germany will grow ever more wonderfully diverse.
“Bundestag reelects Merkel as chancellor,” by Maxime Schlee, Politico, March 14, 2018:
Angela Merkel received the final rubber stamp to lead her fourth government on Wednesday with Germany’s lower house of parliament officially electing her chancellor.
Among the 692 MPs to vote in a secret ballot at the Bundestag, 364 voted in favor of another term for the 63-year-old Christian Democrats (CDU) leader and 315 voted against (nine abstained and four votes were invalid). With only nine votes above the needed majority — which lay at 355 votes — Merkel’s victory is her narrowest since she first took office in 2005.
“Clear election, smooth start. Now with all strength for Germany!” Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, the CDU’s general-secretary and a close Merkel ally, wrote on Twitter….
“There were more opposition votes than I expected,” Andrea Nahles, leader of the SPD’s parliamentary faction, told German newspaper WELT, adding that there was no use in speculating which MPs voted against Merkel, given it was a secret ballot.
“The high number of dissenters at Merkel’s chancellor election unmasks the enormous centrifugal forces within the grande coalition,” Christian Lindner, whose liberal Free Democrats pulled out of coalition talks with Merkel’s conservatives shortly after September’s election, tweeted.…
Westman says
Obviously many MP’s don’t want to be associated with the Stasi Lady when it becomes impossible to deny the bad effects of uncontrolled immigration upon the economy and freedom of German society.

Too close. Leaves doubt. Should be questioned and investigated how much fiddling around there was.
My sympathy to the german citizens.
Double sympathy to all european nations having her control the continent for another 4 years.

Imagine Trudeau will congradulate her.

Wretched woman.
Doing so much harm to Germany, to all of Europe, for that matter to all of Western Civilization.
Not that she cares or understands. Well, this constitutes part, but only part, of her wretchedness.

Totally agree.

Oh wow, so they voted her back in.
I expect to see more and more native European citizens emigrating out of Europe and to other Western nations not on that continent in the next few years.

Merkel, running unopposed, narrowly wins fourth term as German Chancellor
364 votes for Merkel, 315 votes for no one at all. That’s not exactly a ringing vote of confidence.
…………………..
No–not a ringing endorsement, considering she was running unopposed. Still, Germany is saddled with her suicidal policies for the foreseeable future.
traci94 says
She ran unopposed and narrowly won? What would they do if she didn’t get enough votes?
Indiana Tom says
Elect someone smarter, such as the local house cat.
David M says
Or like in The Simpsons, when the real owner of the power plant was Canary M Burns, not Mr Burns. The canary would do a better job than Merkel.

tim gallagher says
Terrible news for the civilised, non-Muslim world. Still, if the German people do keep voting Merkel and her mob back into power, it’s hard to feel a lot of sympathy for them. It’s the same in so many other countries. I just can’t believe that far more people haven’t woken up to the danger that Islam represents for their countries. Not just in Germany, which will continue to be invaded by Muslim barbarians, but most western nations. Only Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland give some hope. Also, Trump getting into power in the USA gives some hope. I wish people everywhere would wake up before too much damage is done. The majority of people seem to be such slow learners.
Indiana Tom says
364 votes for Merkel, 315 votes for no one at all.
I was thinking of nominating my smart Sheltie for German chancellor. Ooops, wrong nationality. I do have a clever Collie Shepherd though, who would love the position.
Rasmussen says
As long as you don’t name the poor dog “Merkel”…..That would qualify as animal cruelty . While i can understand that certain canine varieties spring to mind when Merkel is mentioned , Collies or Shelties are not among them 🙂
mortimer says
The Germans are voting for the socialist agenda and its cushy benefits, rather than for migration. The migration is part of the agenda of the globalist minority.
Germans are so desperate to show the world that they are broad-minded that they are committing suicide to prove it.
mortimer says
Collective national suicide.
Infidel says
IN MANY WAYS THE GREATER WEST IS REAPING THE BITTER HARVEST OF COLONIAL KARMA: Read on… Yes, I hate to say this and as much as it makes me sick to the Islamic Trojan persecution of the Greater West, it was certainly Karma coming and this Karma as come in the form of INSIDIOUS DEMONS who betray their own people like Trudeau, Mad Maama, Cameron, Hollande and others.. It is sad… but then there was a time in past centuries when the Greater West ran amok in Africa and Asia and looted these continents tBONE-DRY in the name of colonialism. India was left PENNILESS in 1947 when the British left it .. It was not independence.. but it was nightmarish poverty. UK also outsourced famines on India, where millions perished…the infamous Bengal famine is one such sordid example.. It is a testimony to Hindu enterprise and hard work that India today has once again risen to the top of the world economic ladder, a position it held for centuries before the British invaded. And this same colonial Karma has caught up now and UNFORTUNATELY, it is the new generation of INNOCENT and WELL MEANING Greater Westerners that are paying the price with interest. It is a time tested Hindu saying that Karma often works and catches up in strange diabolical ways. And if U do not pay, Ur children and grandchildren often end up bearing the cross…
Wellington says
Infidel: Most everyone has looted, stolen land and pillaged others all across the world through all the ages. The American Indians were brutal to one another long before (and after too) Columbus came to America. The Islamic world certainly engaged in its share of atrocities and then some in its conquest of huge swaths of territory. One Asian civilization or society after another was brutal to other Asian civilizations and societies. Sub-Saharan African tribes for centuries, millennia for that matter, were barbarous to one another. And so on. So, why single out the West for karma and all that rot?
Sorry, but this is just more bashing of the West while overlooking the many wrongs committed by non-Western peoples. Hey, about karma for them? Moreover, Western imperialism often times did a lot of good, such as the building of hospitals and schools, wiping out diseases, building infrastructure, etc. By virtually any standard, Western imperialism, while certainly guilty of wrongs, no doubt about this, was arguably the most benign and enlightened of all imperial endeavors. Besides, the West, unlike any other corner of the world has apologized for its wrongdoings and has taken the initiative to end certain iniquities like slavery. When did the Islamic world, the American Indian world, the sub-Saharan African world, the Asian world ON ITS OWN acknowledge the wrong of slavery and ON ITS OWN take many measures to end it? The West also pioneered freedom like no other civilization in history, including women’s rights, and developed the most advanced technology, easily so, of any civilization in history. The West additionally invented philosophy (the ancient Greeks), democracy (the ancient Greeks) and the scientific method (in early modern Europe).
So what is all this karma shit about and singling out the West for some kind of deserved punishment? I smell rank tendentiousness and not a little loopiness here. The West right now is in trouble not because of any karma but because it has been stupid about Islam, as well as being stupid about certain other things (e.g., that capitalism is the only economic system that produces wealth). Enough with the karma garbage.
DFD says
To Infidel and Wellington re Karma
==========================
Wellington: You’re damn right! “Enough with the karma garbage.”
My all time favourights: Cortez and Pizarro. Most of their troops, outnumbering the Spaniards dozens to one, were Indians. Neighboring tribes of the noble Aztecs and the equally noble and advanced Incas. Strangely, those neighboring tribes didn’t want to be sacrificed – would you believe it? Instead, they saw in Cortez and Pizarro saviors. Wonder why, didn’t they hear about the noble savages?
Well, one can go on and ask about those black chieftains selling their kith and kin, or neighbors, to whites as slaves – strange, no? For gold! Isn’t that disgusting? And the racism, the sheer racism, just think: The poor people from north east Africa (Somalia, Eritrea, Kenya {Obama Land?} etc) were called ‘raisin heads’ by… Oh dear, not white imperialists, but by an Arab. A guy called… What’s his name? Oh yeah, Mohammed, I nearly forgot…..
Don’t Karma us, clean your own trash first.

A little broader perspective : One of the greatest scientific minds leaves us at the same time as one of the most malicious political minds gets reinstated as chancellor in Germany ; is this some sort of cosmic irony ?
Sounds like a lousy deal to me….

I do not like it either to say it, but Infidel is right. There is such a lot of karma to pay of. All the bad deeds people did, come back to you in one form or another and that is not very pleasant, it happens every 60.000 years, but now we are in that time and to be able to start the Aquarius time ( the 1000 years peace) there can not one stone stay on another, no ruins nothing, all old systems and things have to go.
It all has to be renewed, and this time it is going to happen, as it is already the 5th time we are trying and
now the Creator Himself stepped in and our whole Universe is watching this, but some really old debts have to be paid for. The times of creating new wars, fake news, killing slandering, beheading, stoning, raping, etc will be over. The big Event will hopefully still happen this year and men’s consciousness will be upped which was so necessary. We all, and I say all collectively, made such a mess of this world, we messed up people, nature , animals, and you can NOT” do that unpunished. And it is not, and I want to be very clear about that,: It is not God who is punishing you, it is you, yourself, who made wrong decisions and your deeds, because it is a Universal Law, which is, and will stay forever like that.
And we don’t even have a clou, what is all happening in this world and has happened, but all will be transparant and that is ok, but it will be difficult, if you can’t lie any more, because others will know it, The New World. But it will be very good, believe me. And you will know who God is and who you are.
Marvellous, you will be stunned.
Wellington says
Huh?
gravenimage says
Uh…right. Because Islam has much better karma than freedom and democracy.
Try again…

German lovers of Western Civilization: Learn from the experience of the Jews in the late-1930s. Make your exit plan NOW, not in a panic. You can’t know the Governments or their policies 4 years from now in the countries you might seek asylum in.
BTW: If you have a tall, extremely well educated Germanic-heritage daughter, for example who has read and agrees with John Locke. I have a 2 meter tall 18 year old son who would treasure her. He was raised to be a happy warrior for freedom and Western Civilization. Reach out to Robert and let’s be in touch.

Is Merkel a distant relative of Adolf Hitler? have to wonder? Good Bye Germany, stupid is and stupid will fall to Islam unless the people own up and take control to save their nation next four years will be ugly.

Interesting how Muhammadans are anti-Jewish, exactly like the Nazis.

The solution to extreme nationalism is responsible nationalism, not irresponsible internationalism, which is what Merkel represents. Open borders and cultural relativism are destroying the West.
