Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Social justice was also the leading motive for voters leaving the CDU (32%, with the internal-security-concerned second at 28%), SPD voters, and sky-high motive for Left Party voters (69%) and new Left Party voters (71%)

It's no surprise that economy and internal security are the leading themes for CDU and FDP voters, but that the first mattered more to CDU voters (51%) than FDP voters (43%) is strange.

Again no surprise that environmental concerns lead (ahead of social ustice) with the Green (64%) and new Green (56%) voters, but it's sad that among others, it is not in the top four even for Left Party voters.

Hmmm, interesting. There was also a poll on the competences of the parties.

What stands out to me is the Greens. While only the 5% of the resumable core voters see the FDP to be competent on the economy (vs. 43% granting that to the CDU), and a similar 7% see the Left Party competent on social justice, 20% see the Greens competent on integration and a whopping 55% on the environment! That's much more than the party base, in fact it probably includes a not insignificant part of even CDU voters.
