Summary
The far-right Alternative for Germany party (AfD) is expected to have its best election results since it was formed 12 years ago. It's currently in second place in opinion polls with one in five Germans expected to back it at this weekend's general election. <br /> <br />It will not, though, be part of any coalition government as the other parties will refuse to work with a far-right party. <br /> <br />In today's Sky News Daily, host Tom Cheshire discusses who is voting for the AfD and why, with our Europe correspondent Adam Parsons and Jakob Guhl from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue in Germany. <br /> <br />Producer: Soila Apparicio <br />Editor: Wendy Parker
