Germany had threatened to not recognize the results of the election if their "far right" party ...ADF? ...won a big portion of their election? Are they gonna do like France did not long ago when the equivalent party won their election but was STILL denied being in power? Apparently thats possible in these countries. Hopefully the Germans fare better than the French.

The CDU isn’t conservative in the way Americans think of liberal vs. conservative. In Europe, they are a center-right party, but they wouldn’t be considered as such here. They are much more socially liberal and, while they favor a free-market, they support significantly more government involvement in social programs than US conservatives do. The closest comparison in the US would be the Eisenhower-era Republican Party. The ADF, and their right wing populist platform, is much more akin to the Republicans of today.

Migrant Powder Keg: Turmoil In Ireland Amid 300% Rise In Asylum Seekers With Violence As Machete Attacks And Drug-Fuelled Brawls Become The New Normal On The Streets Of Dublin
Ireland has exploded into a wave of violence as anti-migrant anger is at an all time high - after the number of people applying to come into the country rocketed by nearly 300 per cent five years.Shocking new videos show Dublin descending into chaos - with fighting thugs throwing themselves into busses, knife fights on their streets and mass brawls sparking in residential roads.
In others, men patrol the capital to keep the city 'safe' while police can be seen using riot shields and pepper spray as they crack down on protests.
As many as 150,000 people moved to Ireland in 2023-24, Central Statistics Office (CSO) figures revealed, the highest number in 17 years - with many of them accommodated in poor areas of central Dublin or small provincial towns. Only 30,000 of these were returning Irish citizens.
There are now nearly 33,000 international protection applicants being housed across the nation, up from 7,244 in 2017. Alongside arrivals from Africa and the Middle East, 100,000 refugees flocked to the country following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Each costs the nation nearly £70 a day, a figure that has increased by a third in two years. At the end of last year the Irish Refugee Council revealed there were a record 3,001 asylum seekers homeless in Ireland.
The budget for housing Ukranian refugees has been slashed from £910million in 2023 to less than £340million this year, with officials saying the reduction is expected to continue.
Once sleepy towns are now homes to hundreds of asylum seekers while tent cities have been set up along Dublin's Grand Canal.
And with far-right sentiment at fever pitch the country is on a knife edge - with even Ireland's left-wing politicians admitting that the influx of migrants was driving a spike in homelessness.
