  • Auch massive Verluste an die CDU, und im Gegensatz zu den Verlusten an die Linke, sind die Verluste an die CDU vieleicht zurückholbar bei der nächsten Wahl.

    Erwartungshaltung stimmt nur kurzfristig. Was Parteien steuert sind Wahlgewinne, da die Verantwortlichen in der Partei nur abtreten wenn Wahlen verloren gehen. Das führt zwangsläuftig dazu das Parteien dahin gehen wo Wähler sind. Das hat weniger mit Strategie zu tun sondern ist mehr ein zwangsläufiges Resultat des Parteisystems.

    Edit: Ich halte die Verluste an die Linke mehr für ein Resultat der desolaten Lage der Linken bei der vorherigen Bundestagswahl. Seit der Schröderregierung ist allen linken Wählern klar das die Grünen keine wirkliche linke Partei mehr sind.

    It is actually a feature as far as bureocracy and diplomacy is concerned. If a language is the non-native language for more or less everyone, no country has an advantage in negotiations due to rethorical skills and so on.

    And besides, the only other real options would be French or German, and really no one wants that.

    Currently in university or so, and there is a large countryside vs. city gap.

    In my experience there has been a relatively recent massive improvement in English skills by the younger generation. Anyone 35+ is still very much behind though. As an elder Millenial myself, it actually caught me on a wrong foot carreerwise as being able to speak English well is no longer considered to be a selection criteria for many jobs, because so many can do it and it is assume a given.

    I am sceptical of this… most likely the definition is slightly different between the countries and that causes most of the difference. Like for example one country might count car accidents that happen during working hours into it, while another one might not consider that a workplace accident.
