A Twist to Politics

This week, the German SPD Party (left-of-center) announced that they were going to randomly pull 20 names out of a party membership 'hat', and then ask them their opinions on a fairly regular basis. 

Why?  Well...some folks around Germany will say that the SPD Party (and even Merkel's own CDU Party)....are both out of touch with regular working-class people/voters.

I would go as far as saying that just walking around and asking a hundred Germans in general....what the SPD Party was about in 2020, you'd get one-hundred different opinions.  Maybe in a top 100 SPD executive membership meeting....they'd all meet up and talk the same chatter, and seem focused, but the public isn't really feeling that focus.

Will the opinion of the twenty matter?  It's difficult to say that will be the end-result.

The big-wigs of the party may be shocked that regular people care about taxation, road projects, incompetent leadership, and a stable economy.
