[pp.int.general] preliminary result of the election in Hesse, Germany

[Jens Seipenbusch]

Hi Pirates,

as you can see here: http://statistik-hessen.de/S12.htm
we managed to get 6 955 votes equalling  0,3  % of all votes.

With this, we have reached our minimum goal set for this election 
(although we would have loved reaching 1% of course).

Since this election was (and still is) dominated by the head-to-head 
race of the conservative and the social-democrat candidates, and many 
people just voted _against_ the current head of government (and 
therefore mostly for the social-democrats), it is an even better result. 
Congrats to Thorsten Wirth and all pirates, that helped wit hthe 
election campaign!

So in fact this was a good weekend for the pirate movement in europe, 
our meeting in Berlin has added to this, of course.

best regards,
Jens
