A study conducted in Germany indicates that the country's traditional political parties, specifically the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Social Democratic Party (SPD), are experiencing a significant and continuous decline in membership. The data highlights a notable shift in the organizational strength of these established political entities.
The decline occurs as the CDU, led by Friedrich Merz, and the SPD, a current member of the governing coalition, face ongoing challenges in maintaining their base. The report notes that this trend stands in contrast to the rising influence of the far-right in the German political landscape.
