This is a little late, but I wanted to check on its worthiness. This one is for Wallfire!
Quote:It's time for Dexit!': Germany's AfD party say the country should considerSOURCE:
following Britain out of the EU if Brussels 'allows the Islamization of Europe'
to continue.
'Germany's AfD party has raised the prospect of 'Dexit', saying it will back
withdrawal from the EU if Brussels does not combat the 'Islamisation' of the
continent.

in a bunker?]
A party manifesto released ahead of the European Parliament elections in May
said Islam was a 'danger to Europe'.
The AfD, which has risen to prominence in the wake of the migrant influx into
Germany, said the EU had become 'undemocratic' and 'occupied by the political
class.'
Dexit would be a 'last resort' but the party would support it if its demands for
reform are not met in the next five years, the document said.
The party said: 'The EU has turned into an undemocratic construct, occupied
by political classes and shaped by opaque, uncontrollable bureaucrats.
'Democratic control of EU organs is completely inadequate and the ECJ does
not take this role seriously, but instead extends the EU's powers at the expense
of national sovereignty.
'If our fundamental reform proposals do not become reality in the next legislative
period, we believe it will be necessary for Germany to leave the EU, or to dissolve
it and found a new European economic community.'
The AfD has previously called for a referendum on Germany's membership of the
single currency, but stopped short of demanding an exit from the EU itself.
The EU elections take place in May, meaning the party will set a deadline of 2024
for its demands to be met.
Among the specific demands are a 100-member assembly to replace the current
European Parliament and a replacement for the ECJ.
Writing about Islam in its manifesto, the party said: 'Europe is fundamentally shaped
by Greek and Roman antiquity, by Judaism and Christianity, by the Enlightenment
and human rights.
'In the spirit of freedom, the rule of law and democracy we want to preserve this
Europe permanently for us and our descendants.
'We will defend Europe against Islam, which on the basis of the Koran and Sunna
is not compatible with basic European principles of law, freedom and democracy;
which makes a claim as the only valid religion and which wants to impose Sharia.
'Islam does not separate the state from religion and is therefore also a political ideology.
'The AfD is convinced that only a determined common effort by all European states can
stop the threatened Islamisation of Europe.
'That threat has never been so great in the history of Europe, even if many people do
not want to recognise it.'
Germany's EU membership has historically enjoyed strong support but discontent
has grown as over a million refugees have arrived since 2015. The AfD has grown in
support amid a backlash against Angela Merkel's liberal immigration policies.
The party won more than 12 per cent of the vote at the 2017 general election and are
now represented in all 16 state assemblies.
In an opinion poll in May, only 39 per cent of Germans said the country's EU membership
was advantageous.
The largest group, at 45 per cent, said it was neither good nor bad while 14 per cent
including half of AfD supporters expressed a negative view...'
