The Alliance of the Middle ( ADM ) was a small German party that described itself as “bourgeois-conservative” and had regional associations in four federal states. The ADM merged with the German Conservative Party on January 14, 2012 .

According to its own annual report, the ADM had 142 members on December 31, 2010, and 104 members on December 31, 2011.

Content profile

The declared aim of the ADM was to secure the welfare state for future generations and to achieve massive debt reduction for the public sector. Some proposals to achieve this were: Reduction of the parliaments and the number of federal states by half, privatization of social insurance with funded coverage (real property protection through the Basic Law), limitation of bureaucracy by reducing civil servants to purely state-law tasks and introduction of expiry dates for laws, Public prosecutor's power of attorney for the audit offices . The party also called for a new constitution to be created, as it believes Germany has not had one since 1948.

history

ADM was founded in 2004 as the successor to the 2004 pensioners' initiative in Baden-Württemberg . As a result, the pension policy had a high priority for the party, the pensioners' initiative was continued as a sub-group of the party. The alliance of the center has dissolved and has merged with the conservatives (Berlin, chairman Jochims).

Election results

In the state elections in Baden-Württemberg on March 26, 2006 , the ADM achieved 7,410 votes or 0.2 percent of the valid votes in 27 of a total of 70 constituencies.

The ADM's nomination was not accepted for the 2009 European elections in Germany . However , she was admitted to the 2009 Bundestag elections and entered Baden-Württemberg with a state list, while in Lower Saxony she failed due to a lack of support signatures. She received 2,889 second votes.
