feel-good zones

Our state parliaments and the Bundestag have developed into the purest feel-good zones in recent years. It is therefore no longer surprising that more and more professional politicians and people without prospects of their own are striving for a place in it.

For years, the current size of our Bundestag violated against the law, with Parliament continuing to grow and grow. It is currently assumed that the 2021 limit can be exceeded in September 1.

Of course, this does not go unnoticed by the last backbenchers in the other parliaments, and so Bündnis90/DieGrünen and the CDU in Baden-Württemberg recently introduced an electoral law reform that is not only intended to ensure that the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg also has more and more professional politicians offers a home that is as comfortable as possible, but also, as a German novelty, so to speak, that the voters have less and less influence on its composition (keyword: quota system).

Compared to the USA, it is very interesting to observe that electoral law reforms there are arguing about who is still allowed to vote, and that ultimately one or the other political direction is supposed to be strengthened.

With us, on the other hand, the electoral reforms go one step further by wanting to grant as many candidates as possible a seat in the parliaments, completely non-partisan; a strengthening of one or the other political direction plays no role, since we are probably tending towards the Chinese People's Congress - the only comfort zone that still surpasses our Bundestag today; the emphasis is on still.

Book recommendation of the day:

How democracies die

"Democracies no longer die primarily through coups and coups, but with a process that begins at the ballot box."
