Summary

A survey by the Bertelsmann Foundation found that most young Germans (ages 16-30) feel disillusioned with politics, citing distrust, lack of influence, and insufficient avenues for engagement beyond voting.

Only 8% believe politicians take their concerns seriously, and fewer than 1 in 5 feel they can enact change.

Despite this, 61% still see democracy as the best system.

The findings come as Germany faces potential elections after its coalition collapse, with experts urging politicians to better involve youth on key issues like peace, education, and inflation.

    Our outright fascist party currently stands ar about 19% and our far right conservatives party is at about 32%. That party is also known for talking about literally anything our facist party talks about.

    So yeah, we are about to learn what fascism does the hard way. At least currently I am pretty sure that the fascists won’t form a coalition with the conservatives, but I don’t know how long it will stay like this.
