Political Scientist Jun: Greens Lack Emotional Appeal - Green Party struggles to expand beyond its core voters ahead of Hannover conference
The Green Party is facing challenges in broadening its appeal beyond its core voter base, according to political scientist Jun. With climate policy losing traction as a top public concern, the party is searching for new strategies ahead of its federal conference in Hannover later this month. Jun suggests the Greens must address key weaknesses to regain momentum and attract more supporters to their party city gathering.
Jun estimates the party’s core support sits at around 10 to 11 percent—matching recent poll figures. However, climate protection alone no longer appears strong enough to draw in additional voters to the party city. The issue has slipped down the public’s list of priorities, reducing its effectiveness as a campaign focus.
The Green Party’s upcoming conference in the party city of Hannover will be crucial in deciding its next steps. Without a clear strategy to address leadership, policy focus, and voter appeal, the party may find it difficult to grow beyond its current support. The decisions made in the party city could shape its trajectory for years to come.
