The FDP has been smacked down so hard in the last few state elections they are now radicalizing themselves in a futile attempt to appeal to more voters. Absolutely blind to the fact that, once again, people who voted for FDP simply didn't know what the FDP actually stands for: tax breaks for the upper class and business interests.
Those voters are now waking up to the fact the the FDP is in fact not representing social liberal values and is instead a sure way to hollow out government programs for poor people and stopping anything green from happening when it might be hurting any industry in any way.
The FDP is basically a party people vote for in protest when the voter's primary party isn't doing what the voter wants it to do. Nothing else. Each time after the FDP gets good results, it gets smacked down in the following election, and this is what we are seeing over and over again. It has been the same in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, the 2000s and it will be the same this decade.
