Three Odd Voting Patterns

 There was a statistical graphic put up....about age-trends for political parties in Germany.

So...first, in the 18-to-29 age group....the top party is AfD with 28-percent of the age group voting for them.  Second group?  Linke....far-left, with 21-percent.  It would be safe to say...almost 50-percent are either far-right, or far-left.

Second, only with ages 60-to-69 or over-70....does the CDU really rise to top-level....with 30-percent of the vote....rising clearly above AfD.  The SPD?  In this age range....they stand at 18-to-19-percent.

Third,  in the 40-and-over age group....the Linke Party never passes 10-percent.  So the older voters aren't really buying into their theme/brand.

Bottom line?  The CDU-CSU 'brand' only really sells well....with older Germans.  Same trend with SPD.....only older Germans buy into them.
