Well....the SPD (Social Democratic Party of Germany) has been locked into a long-term general decline. You can say with authority....the 2025 federal election set them to a historic low vote situation.
Feb 2025? They received just 16-percent of the vote (down 9.3 points from 25-percent in 2021. Yeah....worst numbers since 1880s.
Reasons? I'd give three:
1. They were the working-class party....but if you poll such people today.....half have given up on them.
2. Lot of SPD-likely voters saw the 2021-2024 SPD-FDP-Green coalition as a major failure, and remember the screw-ups.
3. If you were leaning leftward....you have options: BSW, Linke and Greens.
Things improving? It's going to be hard finding a path to bring voters back.

In my humble opinion, all political parties have lost sight of why they are there. They continue to bend to outside interest to enrich themselves and could care less about the people they represent. The Greens don't understand, each wind turbine they erect, cost the customer and the tax payer. (Double edged sword). The SPD are so busy trying not to offend anyone, they offend everyone. The CDU just want to get elected and then do nothing. The AfD, I really haven't checked out their policies as yet. And I will never, ever trust what the media says.
If you gave me 'control'....I'd do 4 things: I'd limit the Bundestag to 150 members max. I'd limit the Bundestag meeting to 100 days a year, and each month....you'd have to go 'home' to visit the voters for 7 days. I'd also perform a massive audit of fed, state, and city spending...reporting once a year. Finally, I'd set up a electrical plan....where they have to be among the five lowest cost European countries for electricity....and if they failed, they'd have to grant each adult 300 to 500 Euro as a a gift.
