Maybe in Germany's East those that travel much have already done so. Namely in order to leave for the West altogether. Better work chances, better infrastructure and all that. Those left behind already live in crapland. Not by their homes constituting dumps but by being in what many even call "the Siberian Taiga" by now. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, beautiful as it is in scenery and nature, would be a fine example. Where it has by now the best "Autobahn" net of virtually the whole Republic (making the M1 towards the more Northerly parts still look like a dirt track even with all the measures of improvements), those roads lead to Schwerin, Stralsung (bigger cities) and still constitute the fastest connection between Hamburg and Berlin. The don't lead anywhere else because there is nowhere else.Very similar to some UKIP strongholds. I don't necessarily see the irony; many people travel about the UK and can see for themselves how certain areas are pretty much '**** holes'.
If anyone thinks he can vote for everything to stay as it is where he lives, he's already as dead as where he lives ultimately will be.It is a case of vote for the 'extreme' in the hope that where you live does not change beyond recognition.
but that is precisely what is NOT happening. AfD has far less support in areas with a high migrant percentage (mostly in the West).in addition, you have to ask: why would areas with high migration vote for any party that sniffs of anti-migration?
I get the analogy but it's not applicable in this case.It's a bit like Turkey's voting for Christmas Not going to happen.
