Politischer Kompass aus der Mitte-Umfrage der ZEIT Die Abstimmungen ergeben eine Pyramide, die meisten haben mittig abgestimmt. Die Mitte befindet sich, oh Wunder, laut Zeit zwischen Union und SPD. Mitte links finden sich die Linke und links davon die GrΓΌnen. Ja, richtig gelesen, die ZEIT ordnet die GrΓΌnen linker als die Linke ein. Mitte rechts dann die gesichert rechtsextreme Nazipartei. Mein Ergebnis besagt komischerweise, dass 99% rechter als ich abgestimmt haben.
Honig wach auf die @zeit.de hat einen politischen Kompass fallengelassen auf dem die GrΓΌnen links der Linken sind und die Nazipartei Mitte-rechts
