Disclaimer: Having most of the votes does not automatically mean being part of the government. You need 50% of the seats and they are alone and won't get them.

  I mean it's a state election. Even if they gained 100% control of that state's government they wouldn't have taken over Germany.
  
  True, but AfD support is still growing in Germany.
