Based on talk today, it appears that in 2022....the SPD-Green-FDP government will approve the 16 and 17 year old group (figure around 2-million) to have a vote in federal and EU elections.
Affect?
First, for the CDU.....it's the bitter end of any significant wins nationally. I would take a guess that around 90-percent of the 2-million 'kids'....will vote Green Party, and it's going to put the CDU in a rough position on politics for the future.
Second, for industry and commerce....a lot of the Greta enthusiasms will drive the future economy, and likely drive some companies out of Germany.
Third, a fair number of these 'kids' will not be able to comprehend tax structure or the affect on commerce.....so when they attempt to suggest massive change.....their votes will matter.
Fourth, whether the teachers agree or the politicians grasp this.....by the time a German kid is 13 and 14 years old....you will have to spend a fair amount of time talking about economics, politics, and the actions of running a country. Some of these kids will be utterly shocked at the complex nature of their local, state and federal government.
Finally, I think in various ways, it will go and suggest to successful Germans.....there's no need to anchor yourself down....to stay in the country. So the exit number over the decade....I think.....will increase.
