 Germany: 52,000 votes against social cuts - Socialist Party Australia

In Berlin the Greens and in Mecklenburg the “liberal”, and “neoliberal”, FDP increased their vote by 32,000 and in Berlin the Green vote rose by over 42,000, as both parties are not in government and not seen as being directly responsible for implementing local cuts, but there was no great enthusiasm for either party.
The potential for an anti-cuts movement was also seen in the over 30,000 jump in the Berlin vote for “Die Grauen” (Grey Panthers) a party representing pensioners, a section of the population who have been hit significantly by cuts.
