Skyrocketing membership tripled, resulting in over 120,000 new members
In the political landscape of Germany, the Green Party is experiencing a significant surge in membership. This increase has been a notable trend since the federal election, with the party gaining more members than its counterpart, the Left party.
Despite not being explicitly mentioned as gaining more members due to a shift to the right or as a hope for systemic change, the party's approach to politics and communication seems to be resonating with people. In fact, many new members are joining the party as a clear alternative against the shift to the right and as a hope for systemic change in the face of existing injustice.
The Greens currently boast a membership of approximately 170,000, a figure that is four times greater than the Left party's peak membership in 1994. This growth is particularly evident in regions like Saxony-Anhalt, where the party currently has around 4,000 members, more than three times the membership of the BSW.
The average age of the party's members is 38.62 years, indicating a relatively young and engaged demographic. The Left party, on the other hand, has a more balanced gender distribution, with around 53,000 female members, 61,000 male members, and around 5,400 members who identify as diverse or did not specify their gender. The BSW and the Left party each have around 4,500 and 120,000 members, respectively.
The Greens' growth is not a recent phenomenon. This year alone, the party has gained around 103,000 more members than the Left party, with an average of 464 new members per day. In contrast, the Left party gains an average of around 70 new members per day.
The upcoming elections, particularly the election in Saxony-Anhalt, are a top priority for the Greens. With their growing membership and youthful energy, the party is poised to make a significant impact in the political sphere.
This surge in membership is a testament to the Greens' appeal and the changing political landscape in Germany. As the party continues to grow and evolve, it will be interesting to see how it shapes the future of German politics.
