The really key thing about controlled opposition is the first bit. The control. It’s crucial to the entire concept, because without it you’ve got uncontrolled opposition.
If you raise a mean dog to scare people away, you really don’t want to let your neighbour start feeding it in secret… Especially if that neighbour has jumped the fence and kicked your arse before.
Last thing I can say is that feeding the dog references the financing of the AfD by Russia. Please tell me, how is this a problem if the AfD is not part of the government?

The analogy with the dog doesn’t work. The AfD is not there to protect anything.
Don’t be obtuse, it was made in reference to your comment about “controlled opposition”.
I understood that. But who cares about the neighbor feeding the dog if the dog is not there to protect?
Still obtuse.

Something for you to ponder I suppose, sorry I couldn’t be more help
I think I got it. ‘they’ means AfD in your comment while the article is about the politician suggesting that the CxU has to outgovern.
While the minister is saying
Sorry, I mistook your comment. I thought you were wondering why the CxU doesn’t take the AfD serious.
I am not obstuse but dense.
I am normally more willing to explain myself. I was in a bit of a mood at the time and dealing with genuine trolls elsewhere. Thanks for understanding
Well, you could say what you wanted to say in other words.
