We are about 3 months away from the Pfalz state election. Today, the listing of the 12 parties and 1 association was given....who will be competing for the state government election.
The list?
At the top and mostly likely to take 90-percent of the votes? The Greens, the SPD, the CDU, the FDP and the AfD.Then the lesser parties of the state: Die Linke, the Free Voters, the Pirate Party, the Ecological Democratic Party (ÖDP), The Party (Party for Labor, Rule of Law, Animal Welfare, Elite Promotion and Basic Democratic Initiative), the Animal Welfare Party and Volt Germany.
The association? The Klimaliste eV.
Volt? Mostly a pro-EU party and center-center type group of folks.
Klimaliste e V? They are mostly hardcore climate enthusiasts and way past the Green Party on what they'd like to do.
The Animal Welfare Party? Mostly for animal rights, and I might suggest they will take fewer than 500 votes in the election.
The ODP Party? They've been around for almost forty years in Germany and simply refused to merge with the Green Party.
The Pirates? Mostly college students and young people....dwelling on multi-media topics.
The Party Party? Well....its safe to say they don't take politics serious and it's mostly a sarcastic political campaign that they run. They might get a thousand votes in this election.

It really doesn’t matter who wins, the German people have lost their right to self determination. The plutocrats in Brussels are slowly killing Germany day by day. Germans need their own Brexit.
Over the past five years...the salesmanship of the EU being this end-all grand 'fixer' of problems has landed on the German doorstep, and I suspect about half of the society laughs over any journalist who thinks the EU will resolve a problem (especially big problems).
I will agree that there was a time and place where you needed ease of regulations (crossing borders, selling past your own border, police activities, etc. But the EU had improved or resolved most of those issues almost twenty years ago. There might be one single good act per year now...that they actually accomplish (roaming service regulation for cellphones is the last one that I can remember). Suggesting anything for the Covid-19 era? No, that's mostly a joke.
But what you really notice in 2020...is that the sixteen German states are engaging and have more direct ownership of issues...than the federal government out of Berlin has. These state elections do matter just as much as the federal election.
