BERLIN (AP) — A recent survey indicates that several political parties in Germany could benefit from a potential ban of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), amid ongoing debates about the party’s classification and future.
While the Cologne Administrative Court recently lifted the classification of the AfD as a ”secured right-wing extremist” organization, discussions surrounding a potential ban persist. A survey conducted by the INSA institute, and reported by Bild, explores which parties stand to gain the most if the AfD were no longer a political force.
Wagenknecht alliance Could See Significant Boost
The survey suggests the Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) would experience the most significant increase in support. If a federal election were held on Sunday and the AfD was not on the ballot, the BSW would garner 11% of the vote, according to INSA. In the February election, the BSW narrowly missed the 5% threshold required for parliamentary representation.
FDP hopes for Bundestag Return
The Free Democratic Party (FDP) could also benefit from the AfD’s absence. The INSA poll indicates the FDP would secure 6% of the vote, allowing Christian Lindner’s party to re-enter the Bundestag. In the recent election, the FDP received 4.3% of the vote, falling short of the required threshold.
CDU/CSU Could See Gains
The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Christian Social Union (CSU) alliance could also see a rise in support. The survey projects the Union would collectively receive 30% of the vote, a 1.4% increase compared to the February election results,according to INSA.
Where Would AfD Supporters Go?
The survey also examined the potential destinations of AfD voters if their preferred party was banned. According to INSA, 30% indicated they would abstain from voting.of the remaining AfD voters, 24% would support the BSW, while 8% would vote for the Union or the FDP. The Social Democratic Party (SPD) and The Left (LINKE) would each receive 4% of the AfD’s supporters, while the Green Party would receive 3%.
Current Political Landscape
In INSA’s current “Sunday trend” poll, the Union remains the strongest party with 24% support, closely followed by the AfD. The SPD holds steady at 16%, while the Green Party has increased by one point to 11%. The Left stands at 10%, while the BSW and FDP each poll at 4%, failing to meet the threshold for Bundestag entry.
