Could there be trouble ahead for Germany? Neo-Nazis gaining power
THE TIMES: THERE was not a skinhead to be seen in this Baltic town at the heart of Germany’s neoNazi revival. No thugs with steel-tipped paratroop boots, no ranting xenophobes.

Yet the signs are clear: the far Right is on the march in Eastern Germany.

The neo-Nazis, picking up an astonishing level of support on the home turf of Angela Merkel, the Chancellor, look set to win a big chunk of seats in regional elections on Sunday. And to make sure that middleclass voters do not panic ahead of the ballot, they have donned camouflage. Neo-Nazis join quiet march to poll victory

This is the expected reaction.
I hope the focus of these changes is well-defined.

Yes, what else can we expect when our leaders are not dealing with the real issues of the day?
