Wish these existed for every country. They're concise. "Here's a short history of the party, its domestic policies, and its foreign policy. Next party."
You neglected to explain the point of the variable number of proportional seats. The idea is that each single member constituency gets their definitely local representative while at the same time making the parliament as a whole strictly aligned with the proportions of the actual national vote. So if a party narrowly loses a lot of FPTP votes they get extra people from the list to fill out the missing percentages while if a party has many personally popular candidates but the people voting for them don't vote for the overall party as a whole because they don't like it as much then all the FPTP winners of that party get seated, but every other party gets extra seats from their party list until the disproportionate winner of those FPTP seats is again proportional to the national vote, without having to kick any local favorites out of parliament. I actually really like Germany's system. It is the only system I've seen that's strictly proportional (if you ignore the 5% hurdle which has good reasons for existing) while also allowing for local representatives.
You covered the AFD and it's policies in a very un-biased manner. No strawmans, exaggerations, defamation or fear mongering. It's very rare thing to see. Applause.
@@namij2560 If believing in the enforcement of immigration law, securing the independence of Germany and German law from foreign influence via the exit from the EU and the creation of a German currency, or the reinforcement that Germany, the country founded by the Germans, belongs to the German Nation, the German people, is somehow "far right and extremist" then I'd question your perception & your ability to view politics objectively. These are all normal and reasonable policy positions. The people who label it as not normal and reasonable are the same people who have been, for the last 30 years, slowly shifting the goal posts towards anyone right of Marx being considered 'Far-Right'.
@@clutrike7956 sorry but the EU isn't something that's gonna block Germany's independence, how is a german currenct gonna help you there's literally no reason for it, immigration law is debatable and I don't think you should consider it normal, also comparing literally every other party than alternative for germany as marxist is just dumb and idk why you would do that
@@hokton8555 oh really? I didn't know that, they only show parties that have a chance of entering the Reichstag. Die Partie and FW weren't even mentioned and they had more recent electoral sucess in local elections
Sad that there wasn’t one for Norway, but this was great!
I hope they make videos for czechia & bulgaria
Yay, my favorite channel posting a video!
Great to see another video!! Had been looking forward to this one.

I recommend the channel "Why do Countries Exist" if you want to learn about more parties.
@@DGAMINGEN I'm familiar with that channel and thoroughly do not recommend it.
@@Pan_Z ?
Surprisingly neutral
