[pp.int.general] PPDE 2.1% in state elections

[Justus Römeth]

Ahoy

What the recent elections show is that it is immensely important to be 
on as many possible voting possibilities as possible. (ie have 
candidates in as many voting districts as possible). In Germany you 
usually cast two votes, one for a candidate in a city and one for a list 
the parties give down. The votes for the list were usually also higher 
in districts where we had people running for a direct mandate (this was 
also true in the elections in Hamburg and Saxony-Anhalt earlier this 
year). So if you have manpower available, convince them to run for any 
office they can, even if they are not that interested in actually being 
elected, as it just improves the overall percentages you are going to 
get and also to spread the word (of our existence)
