Stop being so weird. You said the AfD expected "far more than" what they got. That's just bollocks.

If you can't get the basic undeniable fact that the opinion polls were almost spot on correct, then any other analysis of the result is impossible
Seems to me that the far right parties in Germany, the UK and most other European countries get far more media time and attention than the size of their vote merits.
