You are all very right! In our example Party 6 should of course also move into parliament due to 4 won direct mandates in vote 1. Sorry, we did not notice 🙈
Perfect timing for this video. I just recently became a German citizen last month and am looking forward to exercising my right to vote soon! This is an informative video. Dankeschön! 😊
Thanks for nice explanation and example :D However, Party 6 would also get in your example, no? It seems to have 4 direct votes. (p.s. it seems the first comment that appeared under this video is a spam one, however, reporting it multiple times doesn't help for it being removed :( )
Yes, they should. Just added a pinned comment - we missed this 🙈 And yes, it appears under every new video nowadays, we just deleted it 😊 Thanks for reporting!
I like the explanation but you should definitely correct the mistake with the missing party. Otherwise, the whole Webster method is just not correct. Also it's not so hard to explain. In your example, a party gets one seat for every bunch of 69,400 second votes. It's just a rule of proportion :)
can you expalin some of the political figures in german system and their powers, president, chancellor, president of the parliament etc. How important their roles are and how powerful they are
Thanks! Not sure what you mean with THE residence permit as there are many different types 😉 But here is our video on how to receive permanent residency: th-cam.com/video/3cby9Hircd8/w-d-xo.html
Hello, darlings. I'm trying to delve deeper into the topic and I have a problem. I am from Poland - another EU country. I came to Germany to work in elderly care. For now, I have signed a contract with a Polish agency for one year. I'm thinking about staying in Germany permanently. What do I need to do and what should I remember to do now and in the future? I don't have to apply for a visa, but what can I use to achieve as much as possible and arrange my life here?
Hello 😊 Your question is a bit open ended to answer it. But if you are asking on what you can do to become a German citizen, here is our video on the current requirements: th-cam.com/video/VgFfkhQT9zg/w-d-xo.html. Other than that, we would ask ourselves what do I want my life to look like in let's say 5 years and start working in that direction.
Hi, till the new government/ coalition is build the old one is the officiating now caretaker government (amtierende nun geschäftsführende Regierung) runs the country.
Don’t go for studies or work in Germany right now. Inflation is at all time high and very low paying salaries. People after 6/10 years after living leaving this country. If you want to live your all life in rented flat than you’re welcome here. And only one thing was missing that is rise of the far right party which is against foreigners. Dark winters, bad weather and rude people. There is no Labor shortage , you must speak c1-c2 German for small roles in company. Ground reality is compared different. This country is long gone. Everywhere feels like unsafe’knife attacks. Don’t waste your life invest your valuable time and energy somewhere else.
Agree to an extent, but if you have a reason like being an introvert in nature, I feel quite at home here, despite being a foreigner. It depends on the type of person you are, if you come with expectations or high hopes, then you might be disappointed. Staying calm, patient and working hard will definitely make you beat against all odds. Viel Erfolg.
@asvathg358 I think you should read the manifesto or right wing party. I was just telling it’s not the same Germany anymore from 2010. Situation is worst and gonna get more worst after election. Illegal migration destroyed this country 60 percent of German itself don’t feel safe in this country.
Well yes, the new system means that not all direct mandates are guaranteed to be on parliament but that it depends on the total votes received in the second vote. No seats will be added anymore to parliament as it was done in the past to balance out percentage with all direct mandates.
Appreciate it and informative stuff. Although, when we say largest democracy - it’s often by population and not seats in the parliament. That’s because segregation of what a seat constitutes and how they are selected depends on the country. And so, Germany was never full or partial largest democracy.

I was wondering about that, i thought the percentage has a limit or something like that
I also came to comments to check for this.
Perfect timing for this video. I just recently became a German citizen last month and am looking forward to exercising my right to vote soon! This is an informative video.
Dankeschön! 😊
Awesome! Congrats! 🥳 Be sure to watch next week's video as well, where we go into more detail on how to actually vote. 😊
Very useful information for some friends of mine who became German citizens recently! Thank you very much

Thanks for nice explanation and example :D

Who runs the country when the government is in the process of being formed through coalition?
Hi, till the new government/ coalition is build the old one is the officiating now caretaker government (amtierende nun geschäftsführende Regierung) runs the country.
@anna-ranja4573 thanks.
We have actually two options. Coca-Cola or Pepsi.
party 4 would make it to the parliament because they won 4/299 constituencies no?
Yes, they should. Just added a pinned comment - we missed this 🙈
But Party 6 has 4 seats. Do they not qualify? At 5:23
Nevermind, saw previous comment now

@ Check the internations report which was published. Germany the worst place for expats.
where would you recommend?
❤
But you didn't say how the new System actually works. 😱
Well yes, the new system means that not all direct mandates are guaranteed to be on parliament but that it depends on the total votes received in the second vote. No seats will be added anymore to parliament as it was done in the past to balance out percentage with all direct mandates.
Vote number 4 pls.

Love 🥰 you both of you..
Imagine Germany looking for migrants votes ...
That is your interpretation. We are simply educating and empowering 😉
