Former left-wing politician Sahra Wagenknecht does not want to become chairman of her yet-to-be-established party. “I assume that someone else will become party chairman, because I now do not have the right to do and solve everything in this party,” she said in the ARD program “Confrontation: Markus Feldenkirchen meets Sahra Wagenknecht,” produced by WDR.
Instead, former left-wing faction leader Amira Mohamed Ali could very well do that. “She also has experience, also in the organizational field, where she is significantly better than me,” says Wagenknecht.
She and nine other MPs announced their departure from the left-wing party about two weeks ago. The new ‘Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht’ plans to establish a party and thereby also wants to take on government responsibility. “Yes, of course! “I would like to see a different policy in our country, a policy that does not just avoid problems,” Wagenknecht said in response to a similar question on the show.
“Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance”: That’s what the studies say
If the not yet established party ‘Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht’ were elected, it would get 14 percent, according to a survey by the opinion research institute Insa for ‘Bild am Sonntag’. The CDU and the CSU would receive 24 percent of the votes, followed by the SPD and the AfD with 17 percent each. The Greens would end up at 13 percent, the FDP at 5 percent.
Wagenknecht’s former party – Left – only reaches 2 percent in the scenario. The other parties could get 8 percent (including Free Voters 3 percent).
Even if you look at the current party landscape – without the ‘Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance’ – things look different. Accordingly, the CDU and CSU would receive 30 percent of the votes on the ‘Sunday question’. The AfD would reach 21 percent. The SPD would then be at 17 percent, the Greens at 14 percent. The FDP should worry about a return to the Bundestag with 5 percent. The Left would be below the five percent threshold with 4 percent, just like the Free Voters with 3 percent.
