do not despair! Mal wieder is a fixed combination = once again, rather colloquial, with additional negative connotation, e.g., Der Computer ist mal wieder abgestรผrzt = Oh no, the computer crashed again!

Thanks for the good analysis! I would add though that what many people, at least in Germany, see a problem with are not migrants doing low-income jobs but migrants living entirely off social security.

Tartu has a quite old and renowned university.

Vielen Dank fรผr die Einordnung! Was ich nicht verstehe: Gibt es in dieser Ecke auch Vorbehalte gegen "Faschisten" (was auch immer die darunter verstehen)? Wegen der Aufschrift auf der Patronenhรผlse.

Any stats? I would say more or less decently educated people rather do know.

"takes power": that must ne a far-fetched scenario.

Kรถnnten Sie ein bisschen รผber den Hintergrund schreiben? Geht es wirklich einfach darum, Korruption von politischen Freunden besser decken zu kรถnnen?

It is certainly possible to do both, but of course it's no easy political task.

27% of French see the US now as an adversary. (16% in Germany, 18% in the UK)

Most still think the US is a necessary partner - but no longer an ally

The statistics look a bit fishy to me: e.g., the legislation in Germany is quite liberal, in Poland very restrictive -- that seems to imply that the figures are either incomplete, or that other factors than the legal situation have a big influence.

True, rural vs. urban is crucial.

Sure, I understand the map. My point was that it is somewhat misleading because in terms of voters, one cm2 in the countryside represents only a fraction of one cm2 in Warsaw. There are multiple ways to add this information.

good, but it should also show the population size of the constituencies, because in that way it looks like blue domination.

The pandemic certainly did have a strange, negative influence, but not only in Germany. Social media (in themselves and facilitating campaigns) also are a factor, I guess. Well, may what's good prevail in the end!

Thanks for sharing your experiences! Depressing reading for a German. Hopefully you will feel better in Norway!

This is misleading: they only promise to wait for the final court decision. No backtracking here.
