A bad day in the Bundestag for Angela Merkel

The defeat of Angela Merkel's man Volker Kauder as head of the CDU's parliamentary group to the almost unknown Ralph Brinkhaus in the German Bundestag yesterday spells the end of the political career of the German Chancellor.

The far right AfD might soon be as strong as Germany's oldest political party, the SPD.

It is highly likely the AfD will become a significant political force in Bavaria, where there are elections next month.

The AfD is the party whose members object to the Holocaust Memorial in central Berlin, the structure is a memorial to the murdered Jews of Europe.
