The Christian Democrats are (mostly) moderate right-wing conservatives and also named "Union parties" or C-parties. They are sporadically abbreviated CxU on internet platforms. Critics sometimes tell them to ''finally'' drop the C in their names. "Christian [values] in name only."<!-- As long as they can't overcome their strategic emptiness and witless populism they are left with a C that just stands open to the right. Watch out. It could be cannibalistic...--> | The Christian Democrats are (mostly) moderate right-wing conservatives and also named "Union parties" or C-parties.

''The employers (and well-off employees) party.'' The common dominator by clientele and money but has the most corruption scandals. Chancellor Merkel had a strategy that ensure victories for many years. The costs for that strategy were a non-implementation of uncomfortable but important reforms. They lost the Bundestagswahl in 2021 by simply having the wrong candidate which also provoked a quarrel with their Bavarian sister party CSU. | |||
Merkel hat mit ihrer Machtpolitik das umgangen. '''Sie hat der demokratischen Idee, dass Parteien als jeweiliges Korrektiv der Anderen dienen, [[commons:File:Angela_Merkel_tenure_graphic.svg|kein Gefallen]] getan.''' Wie heißt es so pointiert: 16 Jahre Stillstand. Dadurch ist der Reformbedarf nur noch weiter angestiegen. | Merkel hat mit ihrer Machtpolitik das umgangen.

''The old party of employees (and pensioners).'' Despite having won the Bundestagswahl in 2021 they are losing voters again. Compared to CDU they were recognized as the "smaller evil" and therefore got the votes. They basically serve as a placeholder for CDU and the Greens until those suffered from direct sabotage (leaked draft), own mistakes (rushed law making, Graichen connections), indirect sabotage (passive Scholz) and major attacks (conservatives and "Springer press" campaign) and an unlucky follow-up dynamic (further delayed/rushed law making fueling more criticism) in 2023. Eventually it was a total disaster for the entire "Ampel" gov, for the opposition for not gaining much from it and strengthening their more radical competition and it damaged the general acceptance and trust in democracy. | |||
The Social Democrats formed the natural opposite pole to the Conservatives, as the two also largely symbolized employers versus employees. This creates an endless stream of political problems and solutions. Basically, it is a never-ending dispute which kept the parties alive - so far. | The Social Democrats formed the natural opposite pole to the Conservatives, as the two also largely symbolized employers versus employees.

''The East German party.'' Marginalized themselves by inner fights and are perceived as ideological dead stranded. Meanwhile they lost two of three major heads: [[wp:de:Oskar_Lafontaine|Lafontaine]] and Wagenknecht. Sometimes they become collateral damage by strategic voting when their voters ballot for CDU, SPD and Greens to prevent AfD. | |||
Depending on how pressing the social question is (especially due to unemployment, low wages and precarious employment conditions), the political reservoir of the social democrats and thus of the Linke grows or shrinks (theoretically). -- The Linke should actually be a wing of the Social Democrats, but due to its historical (SED) past it has a harder ideological core, which to this day mainly affects the "new federal states" (East Germany) and thus (still) maintains its political weight. Last but no least: A ''significant amount'' of adherents can be located in the far-left spectrum. Due to old RAF connections/sympathies and members with left-wing extremist views, the Linke is still partially monitored by the Verfassungsschutz. In the long term, the party will probably permanently fall below the 5% threshold. | Depending on how pressing the social question is (especially due to unemployment, low wages and precarious employment conditions), the political reservoir of the social democrats and thus of the Linke grows or shrinks (theoretically). -- The Linke should actually be a wing of the Social Democrats, but due to its historical (SED) past it has a harder ideological core, which to this day mainly affects the "new federal states" (East Germany) and thus (still) maintains its political weight.

* During Bundestagswahl 2021 potential new voters were not afraid of their '''core program''' but the '''new ideological-tinted topics''' and Greens' '''missing experience''', and '''not doing enough Realpolitik'''.<!--In einer Talkshow des ÖRR erklärte mal eine SPD-Politikerin, dass die grünen Spitzen darüber nachgedacht hatten die drei AKWs nicht abzuschalten.
