How do German elections work? | CNBC Explains

Klezmer music? Really?

As complicated as primary school maths - although to an American that may as well be PhD material 😂😂😂

As a German, it’s not complicated. You learn how this works at school. Also, after WW2 the 5% hurdle initially was lower.

But your country does not!! does not!! belong to Germany. Germany is not a Sovereign State!!  Germany belongs to the Corporate corrupt Warmongering Shithole Neocolonialism Imperialism Whitehouse. Germany is a plantation! Hence it has 40 military installations keeping matters under control!  When the Whitehouse instructs Olaf Scholz (fascist neo-Nazi sympathiser) , to sabotage the Nord Stream pipeline! The Corporate corrupt Whitehouse gets their way Germany!!


I will only take Germany seriously when they instruct the Corporate corrupt Warmongering Shithole Whitehouse to withdraw their 40 military installations from Germany!! As a matter of urgency?

The illusion of stability is the strongest in times of peace and prosperity.

Didn't understand a thing. Was busy looking at the anchor.

i just come here to see dhruv rathees opinion on govt based on facts & data😅

thank you for mentioning the house of commons it helped me to understand.

Is this similar to Japan general election?

If we has an election system like this then maybe people like Marjorie Taylor Greene wouldn't be elected.

It is not too complex. It is called Mixed Member Proportional pr MMP election system. It advantage is to prevent from minority rule (case for US, UK, Canada etc) and promotes concensus among parties (coalition) rather than battling each other.

Since spring 2023, the part about overhang and balanced seats is outdated, since the system was changed.
Simply said, they just stopped giving out overhang seats. And thus no balance-seats are necesssary anymore.

American here. The German voting system doesn't seem complicated to me. It's actually more logical than the American electoral college.

Goddamn can her pronunciation be any more American? Ew

The way all Zionist elections work, by defrauding people.

What If a party gets 8 percent, do they get 1 or 2 seats

It's not complicated at all!

That's not complex!

I love merkel!

It is incorrect: the second vote does not only affect the remaining 299 seats not distributed by the first vote. The second vote determines the relation of parties in the Bundestag overall. So if Party A gets 30 per cent in the second votes, it means it has to have 30 per cent of the seats in Bundestag at all. THEN it gets more complicated. Usually this is achieved by filling up the given first vote seats according to the parties' state lists, so that in the end Party A has 30 per cent of seats. If a party only earned 50 seats or so by the first vote, but 30 per cent of votes in the second vote, this is the way it works (because 50 seats are less than 30 percent of 598). It also works the other way around: if Party B is especially successfull in first votes, earning like 200 of the 299 seats of this branch, it already represents roughly one third of all seats of the Bundestag. If now the second vote gave that party only 25 per cent or so, this is where the overall number of seats grows and more are added to the 598. That is why the Bundestag currently has about 700 members of parliament... because a directly elected politician has the right to move in. All 200 politicians pf Party B. So that the relation among the party votes is guaranteed, it means that all other parties receive extra seats as well, so that those 200 politicians just make up the 25 per cent of party votes Party B received.

To cut it short: the second vote ist most important, because it determines which party will be strongest and then shall nominate the chancellor, find a governing coalition and so on. The second vote defines the overall distribution of seats in parliament among the parties. The first vote though is added to make it more personal and local, otherwise it would be a mere vote for party lists. The first vote decides who shall represent me myself in parliament, who is the one i trust most in my town and who I think shall make the best for my region in parliament.

So this means first and second vote can go to different parties. Poltician Müller might be of Party A, but besides I generally prefer party B, so I vote for both. I also can try to strenghten party B especially, so I vote for candidate Schmitz in the first vote, only because he is member of Party B, despite the fact I do not like him as a guy. And finally the first vote can also go to free candidates who do not belong to any party. It is just not likely that person will win.... the same goes for minor parties in the second vote, like parties not being represented in parliament already. But I could choose among 40 parties or so.

Mainly Former cdu members went to AFD (pro traditional family but gone weird afterwards) then eventually left completely or converted to groups like the Minority blue party

Complicated? Sorry.

Angela Merkel in 2021: Who is the longest serving head of state again?

Here in 2021. As a Russian I really want a similar system 😍

Schön dargestellt

Well cool graphicsand fotos, but 2 mistakes. 5 % threshold must reached in the entire federation, not only a state. Second all normal seats, which ist twice the number of constituencies, are distributed proportional to the second vote.
The share of seats of one party ist First occupied by the MP who won one directly (won a constituency). Rest is filled from a list of candidates a party submit before a election.
The extra seats came into the game, if a party get more direct seats from the first vote in a German state. The other Parties get extra seats to insure their share is proportional to the second vote.
All to make two contitons true: every direct elected get a seat, but share of the parties must proportional to the second vote. Additionally we have two rules to protect minority's. Most important is: any part, which get three direct seats need not reach 5%.
Second, the party of the Danish minority need not to reach 5%.

It's not complicated, it's simply meaningless, you must drink a lot of beer to accept it

I'd say most people understand the system is not that complicated. Otherwise we wouldn't have a 75%+ voter turnout.

then another guy failed art class again....... .. . .

Almost like Malaysia, we have two ballot one for parliament and one for district, we chose two candidate, one to represent us at the federal level parliament the other one to represent us at state level parliament. Yeah we got the main parliament for whole Malaysia and each 13 state got it own parliament.

Uiii memo so ein geiläääes Prodükt

The design is no single party like nazi has the government

Explain how the winner of the election can be made the loser of chancellorship. Only a fu..ed up system and silly people can make that happen. Go to the electoral college in the us. Give me the Chinese system.

mhm I mean... it may be complicated for the officials who need to figure out the proportionality of election result. For voter, it seems very straight-forward. You get one vote for regional representation, and one vote for political representation. The make-up of the resulting parliament will be proportional to the political leaning of the voters. Very clear and fair!

Just came to this video after the election result to understand the structure

Thank you
