German economy frets about Saxony-Anhalt election results

Comments

1. Obsidian Warden: underwhelming, but what really strikes me is the complete absence of any thoughtful economic proposals from the AfD
2. Mia: sounds like the economy is worried more about maths than people's reasons for voting AfD
3. Obsidian Specter: elections aren't about 'reasons' for people's choices, it's about the choices themselves
4. Noraholtxo: surprised the economists are just now sounding the alarm, feels like they were sleeping through 2017
5. Vasquezfelix: a 5% swing in voting habits doesn't suddenly become a reason for alarm without some real data to back it up
6. Leo: can't believe experts are just focusing on the economic implications, didn't any of them analyze how local job markets might've contributed to this outcome?
7. Pale Kite: some people are really worried about the economic implications here. still trying to wrap my head around what it means for trade with other EU countries
8. Pale Vector: economists are always the last to notice people don't feel heard anymore
9. Isla: it's about time economists started talking sense for once. "popular" is a weird word to use here though - 40% is not exactly what I'd call popular, it
10. Adamvoss: seems like the economic warnings were ignored in favor of...whatever. how's that gonna play out?
