next Sunday are federal elections in Germany and in two other states, Brandenburg and Schleswig-Holstein, additionally state elections.
If one spends much of his time on the Internet, one can not shake the feeling, could this Sunday a party collect particularly large cross, the Pirate Party. But as it is generally, appearances are deceiving. For what looks on the network by an overwhelming majority for a new political grouping of the digital Boheme faded out of copper wire and optical fiber cables of this Republic into a caricature of the resistance. Assumptions about the number size of the politically active netizens now provide a different look at the possibilities of the new middle movement dar. hope was one of the success of the Swedish colleagues in the previous elections in July, but the sobering election results for Germany painted a different picture. In some Berlin districts of the pirates were a bit more concise in appearance, but overall it was not enough for the German entry into the EU Parliament. Until next election Sunday, the Pirates, as the other parties also do everything they can to convince the voters to give voice to them exactly.
But in one respect many people on - and now some offline: something stinks in this country greatly in the sky. to discontent, the feeling and get ripped liberal narrowing are spreading. The man gets to the limits of endurance and then bursts from its seams. This anger, which is resting force must be bundled and used be. Not the anger about the helplessness should prevail, but rather the human ability to change our grievances should inspire our actions. From nothin ', nothin' comes , it is so beautiful. If we realize that something is wrong, that things around us noticed disturbing and we also discover these feelings with other people, then it is to investigate what it's all about. Twenty years ago, people could tell something in common when one or the other euphoric breeze of change blew through the eastern lands. This time there is a lot to tackle and much to steer in another direction. But it only applies to information and realize that we will then decide together how we want to progress.
If we choose the next Sunday a new government, then we do not know about "the above" to please, but then we take our sovereign authority granted in the hand and a mandate that we provide with the cross. How to use this, however, a power to get what you want? What happens if you do not set his cross? How do I influence what might torment me the next four to five years back and how do I prevent this?
Although our current election system does not do it is to make each and every right, we have to deal with the conditions and requirements that it provides to us, the voters.
first and second vote
Each voter has one so-called first and second vote. With the first vote directly from the relevant constituency MPs, in which one is reported to be selected. In this case, the voting principle, ie the candidate with the most votes for each constituency wins the election, all others get nothing.
The release of the first vote and the associated majority voting procedures for example, could follow look:
- CDU deputy gets 30%
- SPD deputy gets 29%
- Left MP gets 29%
- Greens MP gets 10%
- Pirates deputy get 2%
Thus, although total 70% of the electorate voted for parties that voted for referendums , fewer wars and less government supervision, the candidate of the CDU receives the award vote, because that has won the most votes in this constituency. 70% of all voters will be so totally hit on the head!
The first vote to a candidate to give a small party will have positive but little. With the second vote, a choice of selected authorized party. Provided, however, the percentage ratio of choice, so it is taken in this case not to allocate even a small party vote. Here, it should nevertheless be noted that the so-called 5% threshold must be overcome to be effective. This means that if 5% of all votes cast in the party have chosen. This is especially new and less popular groups, a poor starting position. Even assuming that the waves in the network for the pirate party hit very high, also includes the voices of the " offliners " that is, the citizens who do not reside in the network and have the Piratomanie little to realize anything (read maybe one or two rushing defamatory article ) and thus probably only a distorted picture of the free ( health ) mutiny on the ballots may begin. Currently it looks like also that the Pirates will not make the hurdle in this election, as the forecasts on the Internet at about 2-3% are.
Certainly everyone wants to uphold the netizens in the net his rights. It's also good that it's now come to this development, since thus always made clear is that the things around us does not have to stay as they are, but can be changed and improved. Of us, for us.
