Mrs Clinton’s tailor’s other high-profile customer, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, has been humiliated in elections to the state parliament of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in northeast Germany. Her party was pushed into third place by the upstart Alternative für Deutschland (AfD).
The gentry-left SPD got the biggest share of the vote, 31 percent, down from 36 percent at the last election five years ago. Second with 21 percent was the Trumpish-populist and Euroskeptic AfD, which did not exist to contest the last election, having been founded only in 2013.
Merkel’s gentry-right CDU got 19 percent, their worst result ever in the state, which they have been governing in coalition with the SPD.
