The German problem is the missing representation, through a requirement of 5% of votes to be represented.
Then for the case of AfD, no one wanted to talk with them at all when they crossed the 5% mark. AfD has a lot of garbage takes, but they’re gaining traction for a reason and any extreme party will have some truth to their main requests.
AfD and MAGA went through the same route for becoming too big to stop, which was by being ignored until they had 25% of the voters support
I think we’re quite close to optimal in Denmark with the 2% requirement and then legitimately listening to all parties. Like right now there’s no need to include Alternativet/Greens. But everyone is aware the most climate extreme party will become big if everyone ignores them.
