2012 Elections in Germany

Or people could just ignore gender and vote for who they think is best for the job?

Came here to say that.

Glad to see finally the Pirates are beneath the threshold to enter Parliament. It can be fun to play an episode of My Little Pony in the Parliament of Berlin Land (genuine !), but the Bundestag is another thing... Also, a number of voters getting away from the Pirates come back to Die Linke (albeit maybe more were from the Greens or SPD).

The NPD actually can sometimes break 5% in some of the Eastern part's regional parliaments, but that's all. I think they're rather decreasing than rising nowadays.

I would never have expected to see Pirates at the same rate in East and West Germany ! Did they split Berlin as it used to be in that poll ?

In the mean time, Rot-Rot-Grün still has a virtual majority...

And is still not an option...


Sigh... Damn SPD.

I'm seriously beginning to wonder if it's only in France where we have some kind of left and right that won't event hink of making a "grand coalition". It's like a plague for Nate's sake !

You might as well scrap governments and have all managed by administrations rather than have grand coalitions. These things are the cancer of the political landscape.
