????A CHEERgoes upas Jens Maier takes the podium at a packed sports club in Dresden. The Alternative for Germany (AfD) candidate for the Bundestag, Germany’s parliament,rails againstAngela Merkel’s refugee policies: “Who has to live with these ‘new citizens’? Whose children have to go to school with their children? Who produces the wealth theyfeed off?” Germany, he concludes, needs MPs “imbued witha sense of responsibility towards their own people” who can “show up the incompetent establishment”.

???At the federal election in 2013 the just founded AfD narrowly missed the 5% vote share required to make it into the Bundestag. Since then it has ditched free-market Euroscepticism for anti-Islam nationalism as its guiding ideology. Though it has fallen back from highs of around 15% in polls following the refugee crisis, its strategy of polarisation and provocation has allowed it to reach popularity ratings of around 9% today. If that holds, the AfD would win more than 60 of the Bundestag’s 600-odd seats at the election on September 24th.?
? ???Candidate lists suggest that members of such a Bundestag group will be “very loud and mostly from the right wing of the party”, observes Melanie Amann, a journalist and expert on the party. It would probably be dominated by Alexander Gauland (pictured), the traditionalist whose vision of the AfD as a pure-protest outfitprevailed overmoreconciliatoryalternatives at its annual conference in April.

???The party’s record in state parliaments is another indicator. It now has seats in 13 of Germany’s 16 states. According to a study by the Otto Brenner Stiftung, a thinktank, AfD MPs are typically noisy andfractious, but legislatively active. In SaxonyAnhalt they are sovolatilethat the speaker has had a button installed enabling him toswitch offtheir microphones. The AfD’s legislators in Baden-Württembergfell outand split into two rival parliamentary groups, an illustration of the furious battles over ideology and power that rage between different wings. The researchers found that the party’s MPs submit motions at a relatively high rate, most often on matters like crime and migration.

???Most mainstream members of the Bundestag will shun their new AfD colleagues. In some state parliaments some MPs even refuse to shake hands with the party’s representatives. In March the Bundestag moved to pre-emptively block Wilhelm von Gottberg, a 77-year-old AfD candidate, from assuming the honorary title of “father of the house” by changing the definition of the term from “oldest member” to “longest-serving member”. Whether being spurned by the establishment will hinder or help the party is debatable.?
???Will the AfD change Germany once it is in the Bundestag? Fully 93% of Germans (and 64% of the party’s voters) say they have not noticed its impact in state parliaments. Yet its presence may require the next federal government to build broader coalitions of mainstream legislators to pass contentious laws. And ministers might word legislation on sensitive topics more loosely to avoid conflict, suggests Ms Amann. That Mrs Merkel’s Christian Democrats (CDU) are now talking tough on security anddecking outtheir campaign with the national flag is an early hint of the AfD’s indirect influence.

Joining the Bundestag may make those tasks harder, not easier.
