Summary
Germany’s government approved a draft law requiring young men to indicate their willingness to serve in the military, aiming to increase military participation without reintroducing conscription.
The survey will target around 300,000 18-year-old males in 2024, with young women given the option to participate. This initiative follows years of recruitment challenges since Germany ended compulsory service in 2011.
With a growing focus on defense in response to Russian aggression, Germany seeks to increase its military personnel from 180,000 to 203,000 by 2030.
Germany also has a right-wing problem. One is the frying pan, the other the fire. Not sure which is which, but it wouldn’t be a great change.
Yes, Germany has a right-wing problem, but according to this poll, 74% would have voted for Harris and 11% for Trump.
Canada says similar but it’s looking like we’ll vote in our own (more coherant) Trump anyway
this is most likely from feeling let down by the liberal party. especially since they seem to push in a direction that only profits them
sadly, i don’t see the ndp gaining any popular votes and people will flock to conservative nutcases hoping for change
I’m not entirely sure “more coherent” is a valuable trait here
No, honestly it’s probably the opposite of a valuable trait in this case tbh
Polls don’t work any more.
Also we don’t have a FPTP system, which might be a good thing as well (don’t @ me about Erststimme, I know, but it doesn’t change the overall point).
That’s just because they live in the 21st century.
Better food and better beer but that’s a fair point.
I’d take a burger or some fried chicken over German food anytime.
They just want to kill people, but also hate America.
