The reason for that is that the AFD has got so big in these.

States, it's attracting in some parts more than 40% of the vote.

Because no other party will work with them to make a coalition, the space for that has been completely squeezed.

And so you'll have these very, very awkward situations where the CDU, the main conservative party, in order to put together a coalition government, it needs to have votes from Delinca.

Both of these parties detest the other.

So it's a horrible situation.

You have lots of people in Delinca who will say, Well, I didn't join this party to put conservatives into office.

And then you'll have other people in the party say, the only thing that matters is that we stop the AFD from entering government.

And if that means that we have to hold our nose and vote for CDU prime ministers in these states, then that's what we have to do.

But this is a very uncomfortable discussion for the party.

They will discuss this in Potsdam at their Congress this weekend.

They will embark on a summer of protests against all of these domestic reforms that they hope will prove as mobilizing as their election campaign last year was.

And I think the, as it were, good news for De Linka is that in the capital, Berlin, the vote is so fragmented that De Linka actually has a chance.

Of coming first and attempting to put together a left-wing city government with the Social Democrats and the Green Party.

And this is the thing that they're really excited about.

They have been in government in Berlin before, but they but they've never run the government, and now they have a chance of doing that.

So basically, this is the thing that's really exercising the party right now.

Tom, thank you very much.

Thanks, Rosie.
