The problem with the sysrtem is that if there are too many parties in the Bundestag and lets say a party with 20% of the national vote gaines 200 Direktmandate the parliament will have 1000 seats instead of 598. Somehow the system has to be changed to prevent this.
I want to know how many of the citizens actually understand their own electoral system. Unless they had robust education of the public about how this system works I feel most people would not understand how their votes influence the parliament.
For example what happens if let's say a small party's direct representatives won in so many districts out of 299, but in the second vote the party couldn't pass 5% do these representatives go to the Bundestag or no?
I wish we could have something like this model in Brazil. There is about 30 parties, which generates a lot of corruption as in order to govern politicians act on a 'mutual favors' base. The vote is not by district and when something goes wrong in the Executive, we have to deal with a corrupt or shady president in power for years to come until the next elections take place. Horrible. It is a cauldron of perpetual corruption.
First and second vote mean , that you vote a person of one of one party ( Mandat ) and then a party (Partei) . It doesn't have to be the same party . The Peronalisierteverhältniswahl means the selection of the seats for each party . So the party with the highest votes get s the most seats and can decide with a partner ( Koalitionspartner ) how the government turns out later . Or when it has over 55 per cent they can decide the government on their own. But that only happend one time in history with the CDU/CSU Party . I hope I could help sb. Sorry when there are any working sentences. For a German it's hard to learn your language. Btw today 23.09.17 there were votes in Germany for the Bundestagswahl -vote – …. so I Hope it turns out good here . 😂❤️
So if a party doesn't get at least 5% or win at least three constituent seats they're not represented at all? What if they just win one constituent seat?
Its fuckn wank!
I'm pro-STAR voting. This system is super complicated.
Isn't this system just called MMP (Mixed-Member Propotional)

K T Zu Guttenberg is the Anti Christ.
Das ist falsch. Nicht die erste und zweite bestimmen je die Hälfte der Stimmen
Great video. But what happens if more than 1 party gets overhang seats?
So if a party doesn't get at least 5% or win at least three constituent seats they're not represented at all? What if they just win one constituent seat?
this video explains it really well, better than some german ones 🙂
my brain…. it hurts. German elections are really complicated.
perfect! The best I have ever seen.
