A poll commissioned by Bild showed that 14% of voters would vote for the Union - the same as for the SPD, which is represented by Chancellor Scholz.

Two more coalition pro-government parties - the Greens and the Free Democrats - would gain 12% and 4%, respectively, in a hypothetical election to the Bundestag.

At the same time, the right-wing Alternative for Germany, which also advocates ending support for Ukraine and accepting Ukrainian refugees, would score 18%.

The next elections to the Bundestag will take place in autumn 2025.

    Wild to think that only 32%- mildly less than a third- of German voters, according to polls, aren’t economically suicidal NAFO trolls then. Maybe it’ll take the Euro going the way of the Reichsmark for the country to learn…

        It’s also a chicken and egg problem: an alternative has to have some level of viability to attract large numbers of people, but it isn’t viable unless it attracts a lot of people in the first place.

          That’s true to an extent, but we also see how new ideas can rapidly gain momentum. Unfortunately, we mostly see this happen with right wing ideas like MAGA in US, RN in France, and AfD in Germany, and so on. Clearly it’s possible to get a lot of people mobilized if your messaging is appealing. We need to figure out is how to package communist ideas in a way that are relatable to people who are falling out of the mainstream.
