Can we talk about Germany's election?

[HermitHogan]

Are discussions about the politics of other countries allowed if we don't associate it with U.S. politics?

 

[Tazx]

We should be able to. I don't see why we can't talk about politics. Its is part of life and vip in all aspects of it.
Go ahead HH, lets discuss.
AFD, for or against?

 

[Rakaia]

This is an international forum, albeit US based, and with US politics being as pervasive as they are I'd prefer that we don't discuss politics at all.

Part of the forum rules not to. We agreed to it.

No politics. There are other places for that.

Agreed!

No, matrix has made it clear that we can discuss politics as long as they're not US politics.. but I agree, it's probably best to leave it alone altogether..

My heart broke when those two red haired Israeli toddlers were murdered. Is this thread the place for that? For all non US related stories, BUT
let's face it, most stories we would discuss borders on the politics of the United States, which I have made a Sacred Vow not to talk about.

I find it quite interesting that the Germans in all their wisdom encouraged thousands of Islamic brethren to immigrate to Germany for obvious reasons ; into a country that is quite strongly christianized ; and who undoubtedly when allowed to vote will see the whole vista of voting in a christianized country quite differently and perhaps perplexing - voting counselling may be necessary?

It's not just Germany it's all of Europe. poor Sweden have suffered the most .... and here in the Uk we have real problems with them

What were the obvious reasons?
What is voting counselling? Who offers this service?

I find this self made problems so fascinating. As an 'outsider' the idea was fraught with error from its inception.

Europe/UK, never set up for such staunch immigration. USA is, we accept, we manage to somehow create The American from the chaotic stew of humanity.

Australia is due for a federal election some time in the next few months, but the writs are yet to be issued. We may be heading for minority government in the House of Reps. I'll let you all know how things turn out.

I still have trouble distinguishing between politics and current events.

I'm not THAT interested in Australian politics that I would actively search it out.... far more interested as one can imagine in European..
