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)<br>

<div>The results of the local elections of HESSE are so called
"trend results" - meaning, that</div>
<div>only about half of the votes has been counted so far, due to
the complicated elction </div>
<div>method used (a single voter could have up to 93 votes to
spread across the kandidates</div>
<div>of his preference, mixing parties lists together. )</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The full results will be annpunced on tuesday, and on
thursday the names of the electees</div>
<div>will be anounced. Until then the trend result can and will
change up to a single procent</div>
<div>or so, resulting in a possible change of seates the Pirate
Party of Hesse have won. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Actual result shows expected 30 elected Pirates in Hesse.
(this can change till thursday, tough)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>so stay tuned. </div>
