German Chancellor Angela Merkel

Germany economically doing better than ever, as German Chancellor Angela Merkel in the election advertisement. St. Gallen, 20.09.2013. In Germany, it must be more equitable, countering Challenger Peer Steinbruck. Is truth in both statements, strategists have presumably also therefore elected them. It’s not to point that Germany shines in a European context, that there but also more and more people need to be less satisfied with getting out of hand.

The obvious election apathy can hang so not (only) because it to fine people. “The Danube courier per and contra the question has in addition to commercials go select” vote? “worked up (link). For even more opinions, read materials from Robert Iger . Look man as always so beautiful colloquially mouth, so there’s behind the low interest of choice rather the apathy of citizens, anyway nothing change to the citizens”, says Michael Oehme, consultant of CapitalPR AG. And that according to its most likely something to do with, that many in terms of the future development the euro and the potential impact on the economic situation of the country are very confused. Studies here show that a non-negligible part of society so the potential voters also reckons, the policy anyway tells them the truth. “For example, on the question of how the euro is to save a subject to which although an own party alternative for Germany” (link) has established, before the so-called established parties posed no danger, but at least in the short term, because so quickly see the majority will not change. Therefore, it excludes this topic.

The Greens also”use their chance obviously, criticism of environmental policy in the sufficient extent. Otherwise they would have much earlier prompted the Chancellor with appropriate political pressure, she should express themselves on the question of the future of renewable energies or the ban on fracking (link). Currently the Federal Republic in the field of renewable playful Energies its global supremacy, and the threat you will decide after the election about a higher burden of producers contribute not just to the trust. The same applies to the decision with regard to the environmental impact fracking here: a decision until after the election. At least the people who are aware of these topics is also clear why the decisions should be made only after the election. And so you must not be surprised, that lack of confidence in the policies of the main triggers for the electoral apathy in Germany might be. Medium-sized companies, how we care for them, see at least no pulses through the policy.
