Before the party conference, the FDP argues about higher hurdles for member surveys. Most recently, an FDP member survey to leave the traffic light coalition narrowly failed.
At the upcoming federal party conference at the end of April, delegates want to request that the previous number of 500 supporters be increased to 2.5 percent of the party's total members in the future. There are currently around 72,000 people who are members of the Liberals.. The current low quorum encourages more surveys “to be carried out on less important topics,” say the applicants.
