There are elections in three states in Germany tomorrow - the eastern state of Sachsen Anhalt and the two western states of Rheinland Pfalz and Baden-Würtemberg.
It is likely that right-wing AfD - Alternative for Germany will make significant gains.
Derek Scally has an excellent piece in today's Irish Times on tomorrow's elections.
He quotes a professor Karl-Rudolf Korte: The AfD wants to be the political martyrs and see everything in friend-enemy constellations.
When they are caught with right-extreme positions - such as a recent suggestion that police could shoot migrants entering Germany illegally - they trivialise it and say it was taken out of context.
More of Sean O'Casey's 'State of chassis'?
