"The old party of employees." 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 serve basically as a placeholder for CDU and the growing Greens. | |||
====Grüne==== | ====Grüne==== | ||
"The | "The Greens and anti-nuclear party." (The well-off, intelligencia, new left, pool of minorities.) Potential new voters were not afraid of their core program but the new ideological-tinted topics and Greens' missing experience. Also, they are not perceived for a strong social competence. Putin's war has pushed back the ideological topics up to that point that they even got praise from news platform WELT whose most readers are CDU, FDP and AfD sympathizers. If they don't completely fuck up another time the Greens have a good chance in setting the vice chancellor at least another time. Climate change isn't going away. To the contrary. | ||

"The employers 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 important but uncomfortable reforms. They lost the last Bundestagswahl by simply having the wrong candidate which also provoked a quarrel with their Bavarian sister party CSU. | "The employers (and well-off employees) party."

"The new (self-proclaimed) party of employees", the pool of activated non-voters, "protest voters", rights beyond CDU and extreme right. It's said that this party is doomed for reincarnation. When the radical forces surpass the line of no longer being tolerable the party gets basically ostracized by society and the cycle repeats. (NPD, AfD, ...) | |||

* 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. No matter what mistakes they do, most often they stay in the their position. And the affected party tolerates this behavior because otherwise the political opponent can deal damage another time undermining the perceived competences of the remaining members for having chosen 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.

Often positions are sacrificed for a compromise so that the party is still part of the government. There's maybe a romantic misconception about democracy. In worst case 49 percent of the people could end of being not represented. Therefore it would be better not to have parties but vote directly for projects. -- A "pirate" once said: "as soon as my political goal is realized I've no problem in seeing my own party getting obsolete." -- But with current technology such democracy improvement is unfeasible right now and you would have to watch out for having enough coherence between the projects so that they don't thwart each other. A few aspects of party policy will probably survive the upgrade.--> | ||
