#GermanElection Results show yet again it is the working class men in the East that supported #AFD the right wing populist party. In general (young) people are moving away from the main parties but women to the left men to the right. I need age×gender break down! www.zdf.de/nachrichten/... - ThreadSky

For those of you whose German is rusty the figure on the left is share of votes per party for men. The one of the right is by class. Working class/ manual workers; employee/ white collar; professionals; self employed

Do you know what "professionals" covers exactly?

Thanks!

The "Beamte" category is actually civil servants. So from left to right: blue collar, white collar, civil servants, self-employed

"Beamte" are Germany’s civil servants in lifetime employment

I don't think "professionals" is the correct translation of "Beamte" in this case. "Beamte" means civil servants, which in Germany comprises many employees of public institutions (teachers, professors, police officers, administrative officials, ...).

Oops sorry yes that's right. Civil servants is the right translation. I was trying to use the isco distinction but to be Frank this is more civil servants.

Also, in general the breakdown in votes between East and West Germany is wild. I’m Easy Germany, all more extreme parties gain a lot higher vote shares than in the West.

Yes I saw that hence the whole east german working class etc.
The crux of the matter is that we're now doing a large group of the population that are deprived isenfranchised seeing that the main political parties have forgotten about them.
The centralist parties are not succeeding in reaching them
