Thomas Röttcher - Curriculum Vitae

From another Bundestagswahlnachbetrachtung I'll spare you here. Which it was elsewhere already sufficiently. I would like directing your attention elsewhere: Parallel to the Bundestag elections were namely in some polling stations - unfortunately read one of them as good as anything in the press - even the younger members of our society make a small cross on the ballot . The result of the evaluation of these youth choice (see figure) was quite amazing - or maybe not : CDU and SPD small shrunk over for the time as a great national parties, on par with the Greens (all three parties were given around 20%). In fourth place, the Left Party (just over 10%), then already the Pirate Party with 8.7%. Surprisingly, the Bundestag collection could have done, in addition to the pirates, and the Animal Welfare Party (5.2%). The FDP, however received only 7.6%.

Time hand on heart that young voters should also have only the slightest reason to choose one of the established parties, which had covered itself in recent years in their remoteness as well as not with fame, youth nearby certainly no question. For me, therefore, surprising that the CDU, SPD, FDP and LEFT at all yet "so many" got votes. Understandable from the perspective of citizens young the choice of the open, in the public perception still has the image of a nature party (although their occurrence in relation to the alleged climate catastrophe speaks a completely different language), or the animal protection party, probably mainly of was favored the younger animal friends. That the Pirate Party was able to score so highly, is certainly the one to its extremely strong network presence, on the other hand the fact that the average age of the pirates should generally well below that of other parties.

What do the results of the young generation (in the election took 14 to 16 years, especially in part, male and female as balanced) from now? Deliver them a serious look at the future of our country?

Underage for me does not mean less mature. Often an unloaded, unadulterated look at a situation of much more appropriate. Just the action from the heart I miss most painfully in the prevailing policy. The crucial question will therefore be: Are the children and youth of today compelled under the influence of their parents, teachers, future employers, the mass media, the system as a whole to change their values ​​and attitudes in the future or even to betray?

  • Gentle reader says:

    An important aspect is but deliberately ignored when considering this "election results": the mental development.

    The brain development is not complete until between 21 and 25 years (organic), which take place just at puberty and shortly thereafter the biggest 'conversions' in the brain.

    Detected are strong changes in mindset, which leads to even extreme reversals of the conclusions from their own knowledge and their own views.

    Similarly, young people after puberty until the maturation of the brain resulting in an extremely vulnerable to propaganda, especially when of a "trusted source" is derived (eg lying media).

    Ergo MAY come with absolutely the same voters after 6 months an absolutely different result out. A statement on the force to be adopted later voting behavior have these 'youth elections' definitely not.

    On the other hand, a result worse than the existing "electoral system" it can not be. Somehow the "Power to the children" has something for yourself, a definite advantage: (mostly) not corrupt children.
