Rich young voters voted for junior political parties and old persons vorting for senior political parties are determining politics, while the poor abstains or vote extremes in protest. These are the tendencies of the elections for the Bundestag in Germany.

My conclusion is, that the young elites will probably create a green and neoliberal two party system and at the same time will determine a growing elitist tendency in the third decade of the third millenia. I am convinced that, without poor people in the political process, there is no democracy. The masses of poor citizens deserting the voting bureaus is a very thread to real democracy. After all the poor are apriori the most needy for essentials goods, which the state has to provide as its top priority.

Albeit, less and less poor poeple and even workers are represented in the parliament and the government. Should we create a new order with the construction of a solidarity-based society where food, education, housing, health and clean environment are guaranteed? At least in this five directions we should go. And also not only fight poverty , but also limit the establishment of a monetary aristocracy. Money talks too much and sometimes rich buy high positions wheas others would have more competences. Some technocratic elements would not harm democracy, on the contrary.

According to Slavoj Zizek the next authoritarian system will be a hedonistic society with a populist like Italy’s former Premier Silvio Berlusconi on the top. It reminds me of the novel „Brave New World“. I would say it would rather be an opportunistic and nationalist populist like India’s Premier Narendra Modi. These kinds of populism are other threads to democracy, but like the monetary aristocracy, populists give false impressions of democratic circumstances.
