Germany’s far-left party sees membership surge before election

A little bit of hopium is building in Germany!

The Left party was decimated in 2023 when the pro-Russia fraction split off and formed it's own party (BSW). The Left polled as low as 3% in December, but now has resurged back to 7% with amazing new leadership.

They're focusing on wealth redistribution, rent control, sanctions on Russia all without losing progressive views on minorities. When asked which well-known person he would want to have dinner with, the new head of the party Jan van Aken responded with "Bernie Sanders".
