As far as I can see, in germany there is no clear position. Some pirates
believe, that it was the missing threshold that caused the fail of the
Weimarer Republik and the raise of Hitler. A lot of school book name the
missing threshold as a major cause for the following troubles. Our major
court confirmed the threshold also, due to the possible problems in
forming a stable gouvernment, if there would be more than just a few
parties in the gouvernment.
