Order to anchor this message in the wider public, a clever communication policy is necessary. Unfortunately, the FDP has acted rather clumsily, not to say amateurishly, in this regard. " already seemed like a rather improvised, hasty decision. Gössi was not using this medium to address his own members, but rather those in the red-green camp who were concerned about environmental issues. Then the questionnaire would have had to be published in question form, perhaps as poland rcs data an advertisement, to demonstrate the breadth and seriousness of the inquiry. That did not happen. Instead, due to an indiscretion a week ago, part of the results were leaked to the "SonntagsBlick", which is not one of the preferred reading materials of FDP members. It seems to have been the more controversial results, such as an environmental tax on airline tickets, which raises the suspicion that the indiscretion could have been hatched by Gössi's inner-party opponents in order to torpedo the FDP's greening.
In other words: the FDP leadership has lost control of communication. The results have not yet been officially announced, but the public is already debating the alleged results of the survey. It is currently not possible for the public to see and classify these individual postulates in the context of the entire survey. This makes it impossible to start an internal party discussion that should have appeared to be a serious, differentiated and objective approach to an important political issue. There is now a risk that Petra Gössi's initiative will be torn apart by being portrayed as an attempt to take action in climate policy with dirigistic rather than liberal approaches. This threatens a negative reaction within the party. And the wider public could get the impression that the FDP is actually behaving stubbornly in this area, which would really play into the hands of the Green Liberals.
