‘Everyone Hates Them’: German Leaders Resign After Green Party’s Crushing Election Loss

The Greens have become the 'punching bag' of the Left and the Right

Things just keep getting worse for the Greens in Germany. After two terrible performances in recent state elections the Party “crashed out of the state parliament” in the Brandenburg region of Germany (which surrounds Berlin).

Results were so awful, the two current leaders of the German Greens have jointly stepped down.

The Greens won a mere 4% of the vote in the region, not even reaching the minimum 5% required to win a parliamentary seat in the State election.

About 70% of their voter base had abandoned them in the last five years.
