Membership of Mrs Merkel’s conservative CDU party tumbled by 13,000 this year to 434,019 at the end of last month.

The falling numbers have put the CDU in second place behind the centre-left SPD.
The news was only a little better for the SPD which rules Germany as the junior partner in a coalition led by the CDU.
It has shed 9,000 members this year as a result of underwriting the migrant influx which brought with it terror and death to the country.
But in a reaction to the rise of the far-right the SPD gained 2,000 new members in November alone.
