German lawmakers from across the political spectrum have united in an attempt to ban the Alternative for Germany party (AfD) The odds of them succeeding are slim, but a cross-party group of Bundestag parliamentarians is attempting it anyway.

The group includes politicians from the CDU , SPD , Greens and Left parties.

Experts hold differing views on how likely a ban is to succeed.

There is precedent for Germany banning a political party post-World War 2 .

The German communist party ( KPD ) was banned in 1956 although it had won representation in the West German Bundestag.

It was the second party ban in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany after the openly neo- Nazi Socialist Reich Party .
