    The Greens are a center-left party that focuses on environmental issues in most of Germany. But their local branch in Baden-Württemberg is way more centrist and even economically conservative, without a big focus on environmental issues. For example, they’re quite friendly towards the car industry, which is big in BW. This has made them very successful in a state that was firmly in the grips of the christian-conservative CDU for many decades. But it has kind of alienated them from the rest of the Greens.
