THE GREENS' worldview is rooted in the recognition of planetary boundaries. The protection of natural resources is considered a prerequisite for freedom and prosperity. Their understanding of humanity is emancipatory and inclusive: they strive for a society where origin, gender, or orientation pose no barriers. From their perspective, state action must be consistently guided by ecological principles, while they view direct democracy and the protection of minorities as central pillars of a resilient republic.
The political agenda of THE GREENS focuses on the eco-social transformation of the economy. Key demands include a massive expansion of renewable energies, a fundamental shift in mobility away from private car use, and the taxation of CO2 emissions coupled with social relief measures. Their target audience comprises urban, educated demographics and younger generations. Beyond climate protection, they distinguish themselves through a liberal migration policy, the fight against corruption, and the promotion of equality and transparency in public administration.
Within the Austrian political system, THE GREENS often function as a corrective force. They occupy the niche of value-conservative ecology combined with a left-liberal understanding of society. Strategically, they position themselves as a counterweight to right-wing populist movements, emphasizing the inviolability of rule-of-law institutions. While they previously acted primarily as a protest movement, they have evolved into a governing force that, in coalitions, assumes the role of the ecological conscience, moderating the tension between idealistic aspirations and realpolitik.
We surveyed voters across all parties within the PolitPro community about their stances on key political issues. The bars illustrate the range of opinions among GRÜNE supporters. A shorter bar indicates a more homogeneous opinion among supporters. Where available, the party's official position is displayed as a circle.
These values are derived from data provided by GRÜNE supporters on the PolitPro platform. While this data is not a traditional representative random sample, the high number of participants provides deep insights into the priorities and values of the active voter base.
