2019年,德国政党格局发生了巨大动荡。在2019年5月的欧洲议会选举以及此年度举行的四次州议会选举中,全民党流失大量选票,而绿党和右翼民粹主义者的支持率则在民调和选举中节节攀升。社民党在欧洲议会选举中惨败后,党主席纳勒斯辞职,几个月来该党长期忙于选举新领导。同样,基民盟也继续遭受选举新主席的困扰。自2019年年底以来,存在在2021年联邦议院选举后联盟党和绿党组建执政联盟的可能性,也存在由绿党、社民党和左翼党组成左翼联合政府的可能性。
German party politics were over the course of 2019 characterized by substantial disarray. The parties of the grand coalition lost considerable ground in the European elections of May 2019 and a series of Länder elections,while the Greens and the right-wing populists continued to gain ground in the polls and also at the ballot box. Following the disastrous result of the SPD in the European elections,party leader Andrea Nahles resigned,and the party was for several months occupied with choosing a new leadership. The CDU was also affected by leadership problems. At the end of 2019,a CDU/CSU-Green coalition after the next regular Bundestag elections in 2021 seems likely,but a left-wing coalition consisting of the Greens,the SPD and the Left is still also a possibility.
