the German election of 2025

Feb 23, 2025

It’s just another case of the voters kicking out the incumbents.

When people are dissatisfied, electorates are dissatisfied . . . opposition and anti-establishment candidates gain.

The Greens have been in the governing coalition. They got knocked down from 15% of the vote last time to 12% of the vote this time.

The big fade is by the Social Democrats (are equivalent to our Democratic Party). They got 41% of the vote in 1998, 26% of the vote in 2021, and just 16% of the vote this year.
