Editing Alliance 90/The Greens (section)

==Electorate==

A 2000 study by the Infratest Dimap political research company has suggested the Green voter demographic includes those on higher incomes (e.g. above €2,000/month) and the party's support is less among households with lower incomes. The same [[opinion poll|polling research]] also concluded that the Greens received fewer votes from the unemployed and general working population, with business people favouring the party as well as the centre-right liberal [[Free Democratic Party (Germany)|Free Democratic Party]]. According to the Infratest Dimap political research company for the [[ARD (broadcaster)|ARD]], the Greens received more voters from the age group 34–42 than any other age group and that the young were generally more supportive of the party than the old.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.infratest-dimap.de/?id=282 |title=February " 2000 " ARD DeutschlandTREND " Bundesweit " Umfragen & Analysen " Infratest dimap |publisher=Infratest-dimap.de |access-date=3 June 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120321172029/http://www.infratest-dimap.de/?id=282 |archive-date=21 March 2012 }}</ref>

The Greens have a higher voter demographic in urban areas than rural areas, except for a small number of rural areas with pressing local environmental concerns, such as [[strip mining]] or [[radioactive waste]] deposits. The cities of [[Bonn]], [[Cologne]], [[Stuttgart]], Berlin, [[Hamburg]], Frankfurt and [[Munich]] have among the highest percentages of Green voters in the country. The towns of: [[Bonn]], [[Hanover]],  and [[Wuppertal]] have Green mayors. The party has a lower level of support in the states of the former [[German Democratic Republic]] (East Germany); nonetheless, the party is currently represented in every state [[Landtag]] except [[Brandenburg]], [[Landtag of Saarland|Saarland]], and [[Thuringia]].
