German Pirate Party third most popular
Germany’s maverick Pirate Party has gone from electoral fluke to the third most popular party, according to a new poll for Stern magazine.
In just four years the new arrival has overtaken the Green Party to become Germany’s third most popular political grouping, with 13 per cent support.
“For many young people, the Greens have become a stale, old-fashioned party,” said Manfred Güllner, poll analyst with Forsa polling agency.
Today’s poll data will increase anxiety among the Greens and across the political establishment – still struggling to cope with the emergence of the Left Party – that Germany’s political landscape has splintered once again.
