VBefore the general election, Carla Schlueter didn’t know who to vote for for a long time. Union and SPD were too interchangeable for her, the left and the AfD were taboo. Schlueter wanted the country to digitize quickly, better education and, above all, a progressive climate policy. For a long time, the young woman from Munich wavered between the Greens and the FDP. In the end she voted for the FDP. Because their promise of progress convinced them, which did not rely on more state and more bans, but on more individual responsibility and the market.
Many young people made the same decision in autumn as Schlüter did. In the end, the Liberals came out on top among young and first-time voters, ahead of the Greens. This surprised many; the FDP of all people, which a few years ago was still the party of white old men? But the pandemic had made the FDP attractive to young people – those who sit at home and are no longer allowed to party are particularly receptive to the promise of freedom. In addition, compared to Olaf Scholz and Armin Laschet, Christian Lindner looked like the dynamic son who visits his elderly parents and quickly sets up their computer for them, which they no longer understand: progress first, indolence second. Carla Schlueter liked that.
