It looks very concerning and the future looks scary
That’s very interesting. Does the study give any indication as to why that is? Or is it purely observational?
What a surpise, in a world dominated by right vs left, and right beeing the side who wants to turn the clock back to when woman are property, women somehow dont vote rightwing?
Would be interesting to see how that data was chosen. And which parties were defined as conservative or liberal in the german system.
Best/worst example while that scale doesn’t work would be the FDP: Financial conservative, social liberal (sometimes)
Or the greens, where do they land on that scale?
They might be social liberal as well, just to play devil’s advocate they seem to make policies that appeal more to people living in bigger cities and earning above average. Yet they couldn’t be more different than the FDP.
CDU? Conservative as fuck, especially with “I am middle class” Merz at the Helm. And yet that very same party paved the way for same sex marriage.
SPD? Liberal for sure not. Conservative? Not at all. They are left leaning, at least out of tradition and by name. Yet it’s the party that made the biggest cut to our social state.
The LINKE? Mostly nod liberal, absolutely not conservative, busy doing what it does best: Splitting itself.
The AfD doesn’t deserve to be called anything else than what they really are: Proto-fashists (or in case of Höcke: fashist)
So yeah, not really a working definition for german parties.
Allowing women to vote was a disaster for human society, it still is.
