There is actually no shortage of media coverage for the Bundestag election. But only actually. Because it doesn’t matter whether it is Triell, “klartext”, Wahlarena or whatever the format may be called.

Amazingly, this also applies to digital offers such as the Wahl-O-Mat.



First hand positions

But what are the positions of the parties that are likely to be considered for the formation of a government? t3n asked the CDU / CSU, FDP, Greens and SPD on a total of ten topics, the parties replied. Positions at first hand, directly from the respective federal executive board or, as in the case of the Union, directly from the office of Dorothee Bรคr, responsible minister of state and member of the so-called future team.

At the same time, the answers are ideally suited to be able to check the actual implementation later. But now it is also a matter of giving the voters who are still undecided a decision-making aid. The t3n election check covers ten subject areas. There are several questions in each subject area.
