Municipal council elections
A look at the results of the municipal elections in the Stuttgart district reveals some striking developments in the course of the 20th century: the CDU only became a dominant force relatively late; it was not until 1975 that it was able to oust the SPD from first place. The FDP could always provide city councilors, but lost its prominent position in 1953 and experienced further decline in 1971. In addition to the CDU and FDP, in the so-called “bourgeois camp” the group of Free Voters played and continues to play a fairly constant role. Their influence is generally quite high in Württemberg, but more in the medium-sized cities and in the countryside, Free Voters join State and federal elections are not taking place. The Greens have recorded above-average results since they first appeared (in a national comparison), parallel to a further weakness of the SPD.
Local council election 2009
In the municipal council elections in 2009, the Greens became the strongest parliamentary group for the first time in a city council in a major German city with over 500,000 inhabitants. With the election victory of the Greens, there are new majorities in Stuttgart's municipal council. The camp of CDU, Free Voters and FDP has lost its absolute majority, which would now have a possible alliance of the Greens, SPD, Left Party and SÖS with 31 out of 60 seats. The Republicans get a seat. The main reason for the election victory of the Greens is the rejection of the controversial Stuttgart 21 rail project by parts of the population.
