On internet platforms the Union parties are also abbreviated CxU from time to time. Critics sometimes tell them to ''finally'' drop the C in their names. "Christian [values] in name only." | |||
"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. | "The employers (and well-off employees) party."

*** Rule of thumb: The more a topic is attributable to people the better it works. Ergo, mediocre gains for pandemic viruses and inflation (until it gets critical). Strong gains for political enemies that "want to ruin the country" and migrants (may it be justifiable or not). | *** Rule of thumb: The more a topic is attributable to people the better it works.

* Originally the AfD was a protest party. With times it radicalized voters from the "center". For possible reasons see [[#General notes|General notes]]. | |||

"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 growing Greens. | "The old party of employees (and pensioners)." Despite having won the Bundestagswahl in 2021 they are losing voters again.

* are pleased by the general course of politics and so no correction is needed. (If you argue that democracy is the best form of system you shouldn't be surprised that some people subconsciously perceive possible optimization steps to become smaller and smaller. Elections become automatically of marginalized importance and anything else is actually (as the German idiom goes) "to complain on a high level".) | * are pleased by the general course of politics and so no correction is needed.

* People want to see their problems getting solved. (Scholz recognized this but lacks the willingness or ability to increase speed.) When mainstream parties fail to deliver, voters become increasingly willing to try alternatives, no matter how radical those are. | |||
* Staying vague and avoiding naming specific targets is a popular strategy because someone once wrote a book about it… In times of real crisis, this political style is harmful. | |||
* An opposition party not only has to be able to name mistakes made by the government. But always being able to '''present better alternatives''' in order to signal to voters that "We are '''always ready''' to make better policies. So vote for us and we will do better." | |||
* Parties are said to be fishing in the middle of the spectrum to get as much votes as possible. That holds the threat of weaken one's own profile / identity up to the point that some critics say they look "all the same", so the not represented borders grow. | * Parties are said to be fishing in the middle of the spectrum to get as much votes as possible.

* Political apathy and politicians apathy. Besides the feeling of not being represented there is also a growing discontent for politicians clinging to their positions. The problem is especially severe with ministers. No matter what mistakes they do and how big their revealed incompetence is, most often they stay in position. And the affected party tolerates this behavior because otherwise the political opponent can deal damage another time by pointing out the party has chosen/confirmed that miscast in the first place. As the parties see themselves unable to solve that dilemma people believe more and more that the true motivation of politicians is just money and that they help out each other in getting the profitable positions. | * Political apathy and politicians apathy.

=====Lesart der Parteienlandschaft===== | |||
Häufig wird von einem Links-Rechts-Spektrum gesprochen bzw. von einem linken und einem rechten Spektrum, welche innerhalb der demokratischen Werte existieren sollen. Obwohl oft von einer bürgerlichen Mitte gespochen wird - "Wahlen werden in der Mitte gewonnen" - gibt es in der Mitte nicht die eine singuläre Partei. Sie kann weite Teile von SPD und Union sowie in mittleren Teilen von Grünen und die FDP und Linke umfassen. So etwas wie Zentralisten kennt das Deutsche nicht (mehr). | |||
Obwohl landläufig in den Kategorien Links (Linke, SPD, Grüne) und Rechts (FDP, CDU, CSU, AfD) gedacht wird, ist die Aussprache nicht identisch. Links und Rechts haben beide auch negative Beiklänge, sie können als Beleidigung/Differmirung gemeint sein. Für das Wort "Rechts" gilt das im Besonderen. Gemeinhin gilt Rechts als rechtsextrem, was wiederum ein Synonym für Nazi ist, weshalb viele den Begriff "Rechts" für sich ablehnen. "Ich bin nicht rechts." Für gemäßigte/bürgerliche Rechte (CxU) wird stattdessen der Begriff "Konservativer" oder "Rechtskonservativer" verwendet. | |||
