f.t.'s one of their leaders bitters from stuart who lives near here and she says she's confident that this policy this new policy will make it into the bonus talk for the first time and get over the five percent barrier into parliament and that would be a historic moment indeed if that far right party enters the german parliament nick connelly with the latest on the ground as the german voters have their say today thanks for your reporting. well the conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. led by angela merkel and the social democrats led by martine schultz are widely predicted to be the two largest parties in parliament they may be in election mode now but both have been in a coalition since two thousand and thirteen what does that mean while it's been difficult to tell them apart when it comes to their stand on some major issues. two parties to many festivals at least in theory because in fact the conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. and the social democrat party have more common ground than differences. one of the most pressing issues in german foreign policy is their relationship with turkey both parties agre
