but there’s policies like the entire pension system that are fundamentally broken and requires more and more money each year, but enacting significant changes is something a conservative party just won’t do.
Exactly. That’s why I wrote that to me, the problem seems to be that conservative politicians/parties don’t offer the solutions we currently need. I don’t expect Merz and his party to solve the pension system problem - not because they don’t see it or they don’t understand it but because they simply don’t want to piss off their old aged voter basis. They willingly ignore a problem that gets bigger with every year and this is not even the only topic they ruin for us with this approach.
But still: to say that conservative politicians will categorically worsen the situation of the average citizen and lead to far right parties simply doesn’t hold up to the empirical history of Germany.
