This Far-Right German political party was once the laughing-stock in German politics. But, now, between the ongoing economic crisis and the growing disruptions caused by the influx of immigrants, especially refugees fleeing the Syrian Civil War, the AfD Party has become the third largest party in Germany's government. Plus, their popularity is on the rise, since embracing a wholly anti-Islamic party platform. The longer the refugee crisis persists in Germany, the greater the popularity the popularity for this party increases. And, as it increases, so too will its political power. On top of being anti-Islamic, this party is rabidly anti-EU. Should they gain an increased level of power, akin to what happened in Great Britain during Brexit, we can expect to see some form of European disintegration, as Germany reduces its commitment to the EU.
