   Im sorry but the CDU is also left. They accepted gay marriage, they let in millions of muslims and other left stuff. The AFD isn't a radikal right party. Their the only conservative right party in germany. All the rest is left or even left wing

    Germany's lost decade is about to begin.
    Blind arrogance and hypocritical values led Germany to allow the American tentacles to infiltrate and even control the German media, using false statements and inciting populism, and finally blossomed.
    The stupid European Union has been infiltrated and manipulated by the United States for decades. There are few sober people, but the political system for electoral political benefits is watching the European Union sink step by step. The collapse of the European Union led by weak France & Cold War-loving Germany may not be far away.
    50% of the people in Germany are incited to confront China, even at the expense of some economic interests-Germany is lost. The world will not stop with Germany's stagnation. The developing countries will progress faster than that, and when Germany wakes up, its share will be even smaller.
    What's more important is that once populism is incited, at least two terms will be reversed, but after the fruits of the devil are planted and the ignorance takes root, it can no longer be eradicated. After the next cycle comes back, it blooms even more violently until it swallows all the benign politics and values that have been hard-established in the past.

    It is wonderful to follow the German election. One rejoices in a really good democratic process and a good turnout of over 70%. There is a wide range of opinions and parties where speaking time is allocated to everyone. Here you have civilization at its finest.

    no one in germany would consider the spd as the rise of the left. they are not nearly as left as they used to be. they are sort of a little bit less conservative and a bit more social cdu. the only real leftist (and not liberal) big party is die linke (=the left)

    The problems with CDU polling results have been going on for years, it's not just down to Laschet. He's an unpopular candidate in his own right but Merkel just about won the last election. It wasn't a confident win at all, the CDU had their worst election result since 1949. In fact, their bad election results of the last few years is why she's not running for Bundeskanzler again. The CDU needs a complete political makeover if they want to be able to appeal to a large voter pool again and Laschet is simply not up for the task.

    If your going to translate the acronym for the SPD, then do it correctly (SPG). (S)ozialdemokratische (P)artei (D)eutschlands. That's (S)ocial Democratic (P)arty of (G)ermany. It's a name. There are many countries that have a party called SDP, and the reason we don't use that acronym is specifically so that it's easy to tell the difference between ours and Finland's and YOURS, and America's and whoever's.

    "The rise of the left (SPD)" Do your fucking research befor publishing a video. The SPD is certainly not a left party, but rather center. With 2 Partys further left and 3 further right in the current Bundestag. Get rid of your UK-centric world view and stop just viewing partys as the counterparts to UK partys.
    But than again, what can you expect from a channel that wants volunteers to do the fact checking whilst growing and expanding there opperation. Guess facts don't count as long as money rolls in.

    I don’t remember who said it, but with Merkel being on the left on social issues and immigration, “the CDU is the best form the SPD has ever had”

    Your content is so well picked and with great intention. However the many incorrect details I notice in Germanyrelated content alone shakes my trust in the information and discussion You present. I start to hesitate to even watch. Even though I would find a topic appealing. That's really unfortunate.

    Just to add to this (because everyone always focusses on the chancellor when it's really about the government), here are the possible coalitions (unless sth drastic happens now):
    Traffic light coalition (SPD + FDP + Greens) – issue here is the FDP being the furthest to the right in economic terms and thus opposite the Greens (also different opinion on climate change)
    Jamaica coalition (CDU/CSU + FDP + Greens) – far less likely, the Greens disagree with the Union on every single issue except climate change and with the FDP on that. They have more power than the FDP, so if either of them gets to pick (FDP would pick the Union, the Greens the SPD), the Greens have more weight to throw around
    Red Red Green (SPD + the Left + Greens) – by far the greatest overlap in policy but the Left is staunchly anti NATO, which the Greens and the SPD are not. Scholz is also quite conservative for an SPD politician and does not want to work with the Left
    Another great coalition (SPD + CDU/CSU) – dear god help us. At least Scholz said he does not want to go down this route whatever may happen, much more clearly than what he said for the Left

    Realistically, it's going to be the traffic light or RRG coalition. The latter would be a better fit imo but the FDP seems quite willing to compromise and they don't have the stigma of a communist reputation (which seems undeserved based on their programme but certainly stems from a very real past).

    One of the main reasons for Scholz's popularity is the fact that Scholz simply doesn't have as many scandals that people actually understand. There are some huge ones being investigated right now but they're too complicated and the news are barely talking about it. Meanwhile Baerbock just made her CV look too nice and registered her external income a bit late (not too late) and these things were blown out of proportion (as conservative media outlets are more popular in Germany). Nothing on the level of covering tax fraud (as with Scholz). And the CDU has had an entire year of scandals (dozens of politicians accepting bribes for mask deals, Laschet illegally abusing a law in his state to remove protesters to benefit the coal industry, which pays and employs A LOT of CDU politicians, the fact that he himself reduced funds for aiding in floods a year ago and so on and so forth, all of which isn't just hearsay but backed with either evidence or evidence plus court decisions).

    Scholz just does well bc he tends to hold back, not say anything and act calm and collected. It's all just Merkel tactics 2.0. Germans simply prefer to act as if their problems wouldn't exist and keep going as they always have instead of meeting new challenges head on. Would be nice if people actually decided by policies but that would be too much to ask, I guess.

    Calling the SPD the left is an overstatement. They're barely left of the centre these days, this isn't the Weimar Republic, the CDU is more right than the SPD is left. The Greens are also centre left but more left than the SPD and the Left has a programme that is more of a classic social democracy plan, only calling for few far left reforms (their minimum wage plan, for example, is just 1€ more than that of the SPD and still 3€ off what people get in Denmark). People are warning of politics shifting to the left immensely but it really isn't anywhere near that drastic. Beware of the horseshoe theory equating far left and far right. We're actually a rather conservative country, rn.

    As many others stated, there are unfortunately a lot of errors here:
    1) The SPD (Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands) is called SPD, not SDP
    2) The color of the CDU is black, not red
    3) Calling the SPD "the left" is pretty funny. We have a smaller party, Die Linke (literally "the left"), which is, well, a very left-wing party. In contrast, the SPD is center-left, whereas the CDU is center-right.
    4) A party needs 5% to enter the Bundestag, not 7%

    As a Germany watching this is infuriating.
    There is so much off here.
    Starting with, the SPD is not center left they are center right at best and the CDU is hard right. The times when the SPD was the left wing of Germany have been over for at least 40 years.
    Also Merkel is not loved just voted for by idiots and people that love to label themselves "conservative".

    Also the Greens suffer massively from a witch-hunt by the right wing of the German media.

    Let's take a look around the world:

    -Biden won in 2020
    -Socialists regained control over Norway 2021
    -SPD Looks like they're winning in Germany
    -Newsom is set to continue in CA, with Elder preemptively declaring defeat.
    -Protests in Hungary

    Except for Canada. Things lookin' up for the worldwide left!
    (Biden's not really left though, but anyway)
