The Green party in Germany has lost most of its support, and its leaders resigned.

The leaders of Germany’s Greens, partners in the embattled central government of Olaf Scholz, have announced their resignation, saying that a series of election defeats requires a radical reset.
In the recent election campaigns, it often appeared to be the punchbag for parties across the spectrum. Accusations were rife that the party was trying to “dictate” the lives of ordinary Germans – from which type of heating system to use, to which car to drive – with the BSW and AfD going so far as to compare the Greens to the Communist regime of the former German Democratic Republic.
The party has also lost a larger proportion of its younger voters at recent elections than any other party. In Sunday’s Brandenburg poll, for instance, it saw its support in the 16-to-24 age bracket drop by 24 percentage points, a bigger fall than in any other age range.

When a crazy idealistic movement loses da Yoots, it’s done.
The Krauts had a rather memorable experience with a Gaian idealist who thought humans were filthy and needed to be disinfected from the precious Planet. Maybe they’ve learned from the experience?
