On March 27, 2011 Germany’s Green Party received 24.2 percent of the vote in Baden-Württemberg. Alongside the 23.1 percent received by her coalition partners, the Social Democrats (SPD), the 58 consecutive year rule of the Christian Democrats Union (CDU) has come to an end. Now the state will have its first Green Prime Minister, Winfried Kretschmann and change the course of Germany.
Simultaneously, the state of Rheinland-Pfalz, saw a shift away from Merkel’s CDU when 35.7% and 15.4% of the people voted for the SPD and Green Parties respectively. Regional issues along with national policies dictated the results as voters rejected the CDU’s conservative agenda.
The Stuttgart 21 Project
The undertaking is a key modernization venture, designed to make Stuttgart a major player in the international railway system between Paris and Vienna. However, the enterprise was thoroughly rejected by the local citizenry. Destroying the historic Hauptbahnhof building and relocating most of the structure underground, the voters felt a loss and became incensed. Local politicians successfully pinned the highly unpopular and expensive project on Merkel’s CDU and the March 27, 2011 outcome was the result.
