Im Rahmen eines repräsentativen Surveys im Vorfeld der Wahl in Baden-Württemberg haben wir u.a. danach gefragt, ob die Partei mit den meisten Wählerstimmen den Ministerpräsidenten stellen sollte. Dieser Aussage stimmten rund drei Viertel der CDU-Wählerinnen und -Wähler „voll“ oder „eher“ zu /1

Nur unter den Wählerinnen und Wählern der AfD ist der Anteil der Befragten, die dieser Aussage zustimmen, noch höher. /2 @pluggedchris.bsky.social @martingross.bsky.social @christinajuen.bsky.social @jocmuel.bsky.social @arminschaefer.bsky.social @nilssteiner.bsky.social

There is unfortunately a widespread belief in political science & comparative constitutional law that constitutional design does not matter for democratic backsliding. 1/
