Many people see the AfD as the party of the left behind and the unemployed - but that is a mistake. In many respects, their supporters are closest to those of the FDP.

Anyone who wants to win her back should consider this. The AfD's electorate, which started as a kind of higher-earning professor's party, has shifted socio-demographically downwards over time. The title as a party of average earners who feel at the mercy of people still fits. The reason for the rejection of social policy positions is probably due to the feeling of their point of view.
