   Leftists in Germany Want to Give Refugees the Vote   
      
   Leftists in Germany want to give non-citizens, including refugees, the right   
   to vote in elections, according to a new survey.   
      
   Supporters of Germany’s major political parties were asked if electoral laws   
   should be changed to allow non-EU citizens living permanently in Germany to   
   vote.   
      
   Among supporters of the Social Democrats (SPD), 63.7% supported the proposal,   
   along with 64.8% of Green Party voters. Among centrist parties, there was   
   moderate opposition to the proposal, whereas supporters of the a   
   ti-immigration AfD party opposed the    
   idea by a 96.9% margin.   
      
      
   Latest polls show that Social Democrats leader Martin Schultz would beat   
   Chancellor Angela Merkel if balloting was based on a direct leadership vote.   
   The German federal election takes place on September 24 this year.   
      
   This means that if elected Schultz would have the backing of the majority of   
   his supporters should he wish to try and enact the measure.   
      
   The obvious benefit to the left of giving non-citizens the vote is that they   
   will overwhelmingly vote for left-wing parties who will reward them by   
   maintaining and expanding the welfare state.   
      
   “Essentially, they want to give the refugees a right to vote. They need not   
   be an EU citizen nor do they need to pay taxes. The mere right to vote is you   
   happen to be there at the time,” writes economist Martin Armstrong.   
      
   “Can you imagine letting everyone from Mexico come into the USA and then   
   vote if the United States should petition Mexico to join them? It seems the   
   left is just totally insane. They will do absolutely anything to win and that   
   means they will allow all    
   of the Middle East to enter Germany and then outnumber the Germans in their   
   own election?! Where is the logic here?”   
      
   Armstrong predicts that if the SPD tried to move ahead with allowing refugees   
   to vote, it would set off an “internal German civil war”.
