The problem has become that some of the parties we voted for, last round, didn't make it into parliament. The options, for liberals, are extremely thin on the ground, now. You can only refuse to vote, vote for AfD, or throw away your vote on Freier Wähler or FDP or similar.

We've been effectively locked out of government and opposition.

But you do not legitimate voting for violation of liberal values, when there is no liberal in the parlament?

I mean as long as there is no Liberal in the parlament, it is as more important to form liberal unions, be active and speak out liberal values, even when they are disliked by some.

Ideas can find support in other parties that are in parlament. It is to make the extra mile and connect liberal ideas to their parties goals.

It's questionable for liberals to effectively boycott elections or vote for more of the same, when the government is being run into the ground by the other parties and there is some hope of alleviation by a new entrant.

I don't vote for the AfD, but I'm not going to throw shade at liberals who do. It is a tough decision, with no good choices. Voting for the AfD is the only choice that might result in positive change, in the medium-term.
