Re: Germany's changing political landscape (none / 0)

PDS only got 2 in 2002 as can be seen here
if they had been getting three, they would be in parliament like 1994
when they got four
Interesting tidbid from that last link: have a look at these statistics:
FDP GREENS PDS Others
Turnout 1994
low
(up to 77.60%) 4.9 5.9 11.2 3.8
average
(up to 81.61%) 7.6 8.0 1.7 4.1
high
(up to 87.07%) 8.0 7.7 0.9 3.0

ELECTION RESULTS 6.9 7.3 4.4 3.6
If the turnout was low the PDS got vastly more voters, than with the actual average. This just proves that their base is highly motivated, but they didin't (don't) have much backing in the wider population.
So, everybody vote please!!!
