The agony of the Bundestag election – or why no party is electable
Dwindling public support for democracy and our social system is often blamed on the population itself. The fact that this could also be due to the performance of the people’s representatives, the party structures and the basic structure of our current democracy is often not discussed.
Unfortunately, it is becoming increasingly difficult for voters who are open to democracy to find a meaningful choice. There are various reasons for this:
- No party has existed for a long time.
Visions of the future, strategies and political foresight - Repeating like a prayer wheel that there are no alternatives leads to
Radical loss of confidence - Marginal differences between the party programs lead to the
Arbitrariness and interchangeability - Lack of performance targets and sanctions in the political process
implementation make a mockery of the current democratic system
It makes little sense to choose something that does not promise a solution.
Having to elect representatives who constantly develop sanctions for the population, but who themselves operate in a sanction-free space, erodes basic trust in the current political system. As a politician of any party stature, only ever making demands of civil society without ever delivering will not lead to anything good in the long term.
A future-proof reform of our entire social structure
including the current political establishment, equipped for the 21st century.
This is becoming increasingly important and urgent.
