Well, this is one of those odd topics to bring up and discuss.
Because of the multi-party system that exists.....you have various options for the way you vote. You used to be able to package things on a platform....run an election....accomplish a quarter of the 'promises', and things ran fine.
After the Wall came down, social media arrived, and the news groups begin to mouth open criticisms of various parties. So you have people in each voting group (say a CDU-voter), who isn't that dedicated anymore to their party, and frankly.....they might even be unhappy with the five other options as well.
Adding to this....Merkel took the CDU Party over the past two decades to the precise center of politics. So when I use the term 'right-of-center'....officially, it works but most CDU people will laugh and say that they are nationally precisely center on most political topics.
Some CDU-voters would prefer the CDU to be right-of-center, and this disenchantment is bringing on frustrations in the CDU world of politics.
Polling? None. The party is not about to show you that it's got three or four factions, and serious disagreement going on presently.
A lot of this brewing because of the management and authority carried by Chancellor Merkel? Well....her success has been to bring politics to an exact center-point. In turn, this has hurt the left-of-center SPD folks to some degree, and as each year passes.....it's more difficult to grow, or maintain the party.
So I'll say this way as I conclude this essay.....there is a rather large doorway there for the 2021 election, and some folks would prefer the party to retreat back to what they were twenty years ago.
