Germany: 29% government approval. Liberals risk disappearing from parliament, AfD smiles
Hard times for the German government: the inability to fight inflation and the energy crisis are destroying its popularity especially with regard to the more moderate wing. 53% of Germans, according to research reported by Welt, believe that next year they will find themselves in a worse situation than now, and this affects the popularity of the government.
Despite the announcement of various aid packages and promises to limit high energy prices, pessimism is leading to a continuing loss of confidence in the federal government. Not even a third (29 per cent) are satisfied with the work of the traffic light coalition; more than two thirds (68%) express their total dissatisfaction. Looking at individual parties, the SPD is currently popular with 27% of respondents; that is seven points less than in August. 34 percent (minus nine points) are satisfied with the work of the Greens. The FDP arrives here at 20 percent (minus four), almost three quarters are dissatisfied with it. Here is a graph from E uropeElects that shows the political situation very well
If we voted today the "Semaphore" majority, Socialists, Greens and Liberals, it would not exist, it would no longer be a majority. The Social Democrats are far from the percentages obtained in the elections, but the Liberals are paying the highest political price in participating in the government. The most extreme wing, the Greens, on the other hand, takes advantage of this, but the opposition of the CDU and above all of the AfD are those in greatest development. Today a possible majority would be center-right: AfD + CDU + Liberals.
From a personal point of view, the green foreign minister Baerbock has an approval of 4%, while the approval of the green economy minister Habeck plummets to 38%, now to 38% and that of President Scholz to 34%.
So the more moderate and social part of the majority is wearing out and we will be able to see some surprises from the upcoming elections in the various Land. Maybe not a revolution, but a slow wearing down of the current majority. Moreover, without real solutions even the most "Progressive" of peoples get tired.
