I know mate, the AFD is the only party that will allow catch and release, even my german friend who was always a super lefty is now voting AFD
When I did my exam, the trainer — who’s in his late 60s — said, “If any of you catch a big carp, please put it back. You can’t eat one that size anyway.”
I think that you have to thank the Green Party for that!
German politics have run on collisions almost as a default and subsequently the smaller parties like the Greens can wield an influence above their station. They hate fishing and try to ban it but rather than going for an outright ban , they try to do it by the back door like making the licence near impossible to achieve. They also tried to ban match fishing by insisting that all fish weighed in must be killed - very Green.
The Green Party seem to be on a bit of a roll with the traditional big two of Labour and Conservatives being in free fall as the public kick back over their failures over the years. The Green Party should be a natural place for anglers or those who place place the environment high in their priorities but I would be very wary of them.
The next time Jack Polanski says "look into my eyes", be very dubious.
