44:10Now PlayingThe AfD is surging in the polls - in some regions, it's way out in front of Germany’s traditional parties. But despite record support, the far-right party still has almost no real executive power. Why is that? And could that soon change?
In this episode, we break down how Germany’s political system limits - and could eventually allow - the AfD’s path to power. Host Max Hofmann discusses with DW’s Matthew Moore and author/historian Katja Hoyer what would happen if the AfD won a state outright. Which levers of power could they use - and where would they face resistance? And would governing actually change the party - or even the system itself?
