Alternative for Germany, the AfD, has won a regional election in Germany for the first time since World War II. The party was founded in 2013 on an anti-migration and eurosceptic agenda, but this is the first time they’ve won the most seats in a German state parliament.

What does their win mean for Germany? Has the far right gone mainstream? Will rival parties try to exclude them for power? Lisa Haseldine, The Spectator’s assistant online editor, is joined by historian and journalist Katja Hoyer, and Berlin-based journalist Constantin Eckner.
