A new survey has found that many Germans have lost faith in their political leaders. The ruling SPD was seen as having "trust" and "competence" issues.

Summary

A YouGov survey revealed 39% of Germans are concerned about the country’s political future ahead of the February 23 federal election, with frustrations centered on Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s SPD-led government.

The SPD is facing “trust and competence problems,” with 50% opposing its return to government and 46% blaming it for economic challenges.

Support for the SPD has dropped to 16%, while the CDU/CSU leads with 29%, followed by the far-right AfD at 21%.

    Four out of 10 Germans won’t show up to the voting urn, ergo four out of 10 Germans can get fucked with their “worry”.

      And it’s more than likely that these are not the same 4/10ths as the ones in the article. The ones showing concern will most definitely go to the polls.
