The last poll on the UK was quite successful in my opinion, we got a lot of conversation going. This time up we have Germany:
Poll
Political Parties:
The Union (CDU/CSU) – Conservative, centre-right, pro-European
SDP – Social democracy, centre-left, pro-European
AfD – National conservative, far right, Eurosceptic
Greens – Green social liberalism, centre-left, pro-European
FDP – Liberalism, centre to centre-right, pro-European
Die Linke – Democratic socialist, left-wing/far-left
BSW – Conservative, left-wing populist, Euroskeptic
Previous results:
UK – Lib Dems beat Labour decisively 52.1%-25.3%. The breakdwon by countries is quite interesting. American users, which made up a little over half of all voters, voted for the Lib Dems by 54.6%-23.1%, while British users which were close to 17% of voters voted for Lib Dems by a far narrower 43.6%-36.6% margin.
Around 12.3% supported Reform but since most of the support happened within like an hour, a large majority of this was definitely just shitposting, so nothing to worry about.
Some thoughts:
Since we have a lot of British users to begin with, we were able to get a large number of votes from British users. This will be extremely unlikely for many of the other countries going forward, which is why I try to stick with countries where we have at least a couple prominent regs from.
Some have asked me to do write-ups for the various parties to explain things further, but I want to avoid directing users to choose just based off the original post and want people to look through the comments for conversation. If I do write-ups later on it will be for lesser known countries and in the comments.
Next polls:
- Spain
- Brazil (I might skip this for now because I need to figure out explaining this clusterfuck)
- Argentina
- Japan
- France
- Australia
- Ukraine
- Poland
- Taiwan
- Israel
- South Korea
- India
- Italy
- Norway
- South Africa
- Chile
- Canada
- Netherlands
- Denmark

Greens are probably the best here for now, FDP are lolbertarians, SDP is okish, CDU is okish, Die Linke are communists and the rest are hitlerites
leftist hitler party – rightist hitler party one struggle
Okay so for Brazil, I am thinking of picking the ten biggest parties in the National Congress and just doing a poll with those, with an “other” option for Brazilian users to make the case for another party that they can then fill in. I’ll count the votes myself in that case.
I normally vote for the FDP
Note the German SocDems are called the SPD not SDP.
