I didn’t mean to imply that 90% voted for SPD, just that Turks vote for Socialist parties, the SPD and Greens in particular, and the Muslim Party (BIG).
I don’t think the CDU/CSU have ever even sponsored a Turkish candidate, have they?
I can only find one English language exit poll that mentions the Turks, and it claims 20% voted for CDU, which is a shock to me, if true.
And, I found another shock while researching - just 700,000 Turks are registered to vote in Germany. In contrast, there are 1.5 million German Turks who are registered to vote in Turkey!
At some point last year, I remember some story of a Turkish business owner, who picked up an endorsement from the CDU for a mayors job (small town though).
The Greens pick a topic or two to influence Islamic votes....the SPD does practically nothing, and the Linke Party would never get into the discussion. BIG is an urban party that picks up some votes in major Islamic neighborhoods in central Germany.
Presently, I just don’t see enough influence in Germany over any election and trying to get Turk voters. The hooligans/right wing would wind up in the mix, and you’d just get negative public sentiment. As for the 700,000 registered Turk voters? It’s mostly a statement that they don’t care about German politics....they are strictly here for the jobs, stability, and lifestyle. That’s it.
