My German wife got a ballot deal from the local German city council election. Election in roughly four weeks.
So you gaze over this....around fifteen parties....most of which you've heard of and know something about.
The one oddball deal? The Pro-Auto-Wiesbaden Party.
I tried to look up the folks, and the only thing listed is a Facebook page. Roughly a dozen folks listed under their group, for the city council seats.
What they generally stand for? Well....they say the traffic situation in town is 'crap' (my word for their description). They also suggest that the pro-bike folks seem to get all the attention.
Far-left or far-right? Well.....it's hard to define their position.
Odds of getting votes? Well, here's the thing, there are 81 seats on the city council (yeah, way too many), and you might figure that they'd end up with one or two seats....just by luck.
If they'd advertised? There are enough people fed up with the traffic system in town.....they might have gotten ten seats with a little bit of public discussion.
Yeah, just what we need....a pro-car party.
