"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 until those suffered from own mistakes (rushed law making, leaked draft, 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 old party of employees (and pensioners)."

The Social Democrats formed the natural opposite pole to the Conservatives, as the two also largely symbolized employers versus employees. | 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. | ||
On the one hand, the social question still existed in a weakened form, on the other hand, more and more of the really bad working conditions were outsourced, so that the social democrats experienced a loss of importance. In the meantime, they were not able to acquire any significant new groups of voters in terms of volume. -- But this is the curse of all parties in successfully and democratically managed national economies. At some point, the big issues are so polished that further optimizations entail debates that become more and more complex and thus more incomprehensible and ''boring''.
