If a federal election was held today in Germany, the anti-migrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) party would pick up more votes than the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD), a new poll reveals.
The SPD is not a great comparison number because as a party it has a severe identity crisis. They sold their soul by being in a big coalition and many people that remember what the SPD stood for don’t find the party it once was. Even worse young voters don’t see themselves represented by them because they see no difference to the opposition. That is why the Green Party has done so well.
The last election the SPD got more votes than everyone imagined and they still are not able to show Germany why they are a better choice.
