The party was founded in 2017 by roughly 35 pupils from the Emsland Gymnasium in Rheine.[3][1][4] The party was founded due to the founders viewing all other parties as "unelectable", highlighting the average age of politicians in the major political parties.[5]
The JED was dissolved in November 2019.
The JED wanted more funding for schools, a faster implementation of new media in the classroom, as well as a return to the G9 policy for gymnasiums. The party also wanted to raise HARZ IV and legalize the authorized distribution of recreational cannabis.[6][4]
One of the co-founders of the party proposed a voting age of 14 in a 2019 interview.[7]
The JED only ever participated in the 2017 North Rhine-Westphalia state election, where it received 7,054 votes (0.1%).[8] It was also recognized as a political party for the 2017 federal election but did not contest.[9]
