BERLIN Geoff Cameron USA Jersey , Sept. 24 (Xinhua) -- Although the far-right Alternative fuer Deutschland (AfD) has for the first time been elected into the German parliament on Sunday, experts believed that the party puts limited threat to established system and its influence in the future is restricted.


As expected as the pre-election polling results, preliminary exit poll showed the AfD got 13.5 percent of votes in the German federal election, crossing the 5-percent-vote hurdle and making it the first far-right party in the Bundestag, or the Federal Parliament, since World War II.
