Protests have erupted across Germany in the wake of two contentious parliamentary votes on immigration, with marchers venting anger at the conservative bloc for breaking the taboo on collaborating with the far-right AfD.
I do think the non-radical voters switching away from the CDU will largely move to the SPD.
The SPD is disappointing, especially under Scholz (who’s our current chancellor and their candidate for the election), because they don’t do anything. We have a massive gap between rich and poor, which is a big reason why the Nazis are seeing support in the first place. This should be a core topic of the SPD, given they’re literally the socialist party. Instead, they have done a whole lot of nothing, for as long as I can remember.
But CDU voters are used to Merkel, who had perfected doing nothing. That Scholz has proven to also be doing nothing is probably their wet dream.
Oh You sweet summer child. The SPD hasn’t been socialist, nor social democrat since Schröder reinvented it as a “centrist” party modeled after Tony Blair’s “new Labour” back in the early 2000s.
Tbh I feel like German politics has long been a copy of British politics and vice versa. Whatever happens in Germany will probably happen in Britain at the next election too
Who do you think the CDU voters are likely to move to? The SPD is just as unpopular right?

Doesn’t make it any less disappointing that they still call themselves “socialist party”.

The AFD, like he planned
