A bad result for Germany against immigration points could be more consistent than the historical profits of the AfD

And so we pull from Trump 2.0 in week five, with large parts of the world still amazed, which could be exactly the goal. I was sitting at a dinner last night, in which I was confronted with a person who looks at a fully connected and in truth procedure under the surface to chase elements of what Donald Trump sees as American geopolitical and socio -economic logjam. One of my other restaurants simply follows conventional wisdom that sees nothing more than a misogynistic criminal who is on the way to reduce American democracy and to prove that everyone who dares stands in the way. Phew!

While we had enjoyed a beneficial place and one or three or three of Cote du Rhone, the Germans were busy counting voices, so that the preliminary results were in the predictions in the period after dinner and exceptionally the forecasts of the surveys have proven, not far away. Mathematics behind the final distribution of the seats within the Bundestag is complicated and looks very different for obvious reasons, depending on how many political parties make it through the legendary 5% snack, under which they are not included.

The fact that the FDP, a member of Olaf Scholz 'outgoing red, yellow and green coalition, was the highest the German Stalinist Sed and the BSW, the anti-immigration group, which was divided from the left under the leadership of Sahra Wagenknecht . Why so? If both the left and the BSW crossed the 5% hurdle, the seats they would take would have to hand over to those that alternatively be assigned to the big boys, the right CDU/CSU block of the middle and the left center of the SPD .

This is important in turn, since the worst result as CDU/CSU and the SPD between them have won enough seats for a majority, a so -called Grand coalition, without the need to include the Greens. Confused? You are excused. Before the final results received the official stamp of approval, but after all votes were counted, presentation within the Bundestag. If it had found that an additional 0.1%may not have been possible for the two-party grand coalition.

Apart from this, an interesting change to a first past of the postal system, as it exists in the United Kingdom, is to be unstable to achieve clear election results with functioning majorities instead of formation of nature unstable.

In Kiesinger's first cabinet, both of Willy Brand and Gerhard Schröder, who would become Chancellor for the SPD for the event, but the full list of ministers reads like a Who -IS -WHO of the great years of recovery in Germany, around the undisclosed leading economy to become in Europe. I feel painfully trying to list the names of some of the towering characters that are named, but I'm afraid that I could gave birth to most of them, although it is the remarkable lack of Helmut Schmidt that attracts attention.

And the dreaded AfD? Yes, it interviewed over 20% and will be the second largest party in the Bundestag, but the result is that the mainstream parties of the center will be strong enough to keep the AfD where they are outside the “firewall” want to have. Is it fair to do this and not to have 20% of the electorate in the government? Of course it is. After the elections in Great Britain in July 2024, around 65% of voters will not be represented in the government. That's the way it is. Is it fair? Who said it had to be? Democracy is a strange animal that deals with the power of the winners as well as the tolerance of the opinions of the losers of the winners who bring me back to the US is by no means something new and can not only trace its roots into the last century, but even to the previous one.
