Mar 16, 2016 at 16:47 comment added Philipp "it is expected that many NPD supporters would join the AfD" - actually, the AfD does not allow NPD members to join. The party is on their list of unsociable organizations. However, that decision was still made under Bernd Lucke, and ex-members of these organizations can be accepted with 2/3 majority of the party leadership of the federal state. When this is about NPD voters now voting the AfD: In most regions of Germany the voters potential of the NPD isn't really significant.

Mar 16, 2016 at 8:00 comment added clem steredenn There are others party in the extreme right landscape of France. And the FN is one of the party of the Rassemblement Bleu Marine. But true enough, it is dominating the landscape. However, I don't think the same really holds for the NPD. Those are often labelled "Neo-Nazis" and thus would have trouble to actually gain political momentum. However banning a political party is something that should not be taken too lightly in a democracy. It is, however, the very characteristic of dictatorship. So they walk on a cliff there.
Mar 16, 2016 at 7:54 comment added Bregalad Oh ok, so now I see why one might be against the ban of NPD - it might be better to have the extreme right separated between the "traditional" neo-nazi extreme right and the "new" populist extreme right, instead of having them in a single party (like in France for instance).
