How many people will be on 27 September at the general election cast their votes? There are 29 parties to choose from - so it notified the Federal Elections Committee recently. The election campaign has not really broken out. None of the "young team" of the SPD lost his way so far in the beer gardens or on the crowded sidewalk in front of the cafe to promote their candidate for chancellor Frank Walter Steinmeier. Yet it seems clear not know where the trench is drawn - Nuclear power and sustainability, foreign and domestic policy, the big tax issue, or perhaps the social responsibility? There is no shortage of topics and opinions, but possibly to interested listeners. The summer interviews of the ZDF may perhaps be a starting point, but let's face it: how it looks from the audience? Although similar to show business and politics more and more, but the glaring difference is just in the popularity of the matter. The lesser evil to choose from a mishmash. The party, in which one feels the least resistance and to the politicians in those who feel the need to pass, besonders eingeschränkt ist - sie haben im September die besten Chancen. Die Bundestagswahl ähnelt von Legislaturperiode zu Legislaturperiode immer mehr einer Sympathiefrage, statt einer Abstimmung über die Erfolge und Ziele von Volksvertretern. Das ursprüngliche Prinzip eine Partei und ihre Politiker in eine Institution zu wählen, damit diese die Interessen des Wählers vertreten, verflüchtigt sich, ebenso wie der Grad der Identifikation des Bürgers mit der parlamentarischen Demokratie. Die Wahlbeteiligung lag 2002 bei 79,1% und 2005 bei 77,7%. Der Trend ist auch mit Blick auf die Vorjahre nicht gravierend, wir dürfen trotzdem gespannt sein, wo wir 2009 landen werden - manch einem schwant schreckliches. Doch wie schon eingangs this paragraph indicated, the dog is not only buried there, where strolling the non-voters, but even in places where voters are seen in an increasingly difficult decision.
In the style of the "5 Friends" which called on the U.S. election to choose not to, therefore, is a production of policy-digital and television production company pro bono. Celebrities call to boycott the parliamentary elections. Names: Jan Hofer, Detlev Buck, Claude-Oliver Rudolph, Dennis Lisk, Manuel Cortez, Patrice, Ralf Zacherl, Mike Krueger, Sarah Kuttner, Alexandra Kamp, solid, JoeRilla, Bernhard Brink, Franziska Knuppe, Susanne Hoppe, Tyron Ricketts, Buddy Ogun, Ralph Richter. On one for next Week announced press conference will be made known closer to this video. Unquestionably provocative and does the thing: Indeed, people are debating about it now, that "there" are right, yes. That is a marketing gimmick, go on the end of Jan Hofer and Sarah Kuttner choose just want security and this call at the end of the campaign, does not seem to be any clear right.
The debate has been fired anyway, and it creates so maybe from the talk shows and more on the streets of the country. Sadly it is true that the political landscape has no figures to convey the media savvy and authentic, which on 27 September for the election stands. From the offices of the politicians come calls for sanctions and penalties "do not vote" for, rather than in communicating democracy. For years I see myself for the first time in the situation not to know whom to choose why - I as a consumer of news in society and politics, I as a participant in policy debates. I reject this label, but you could call me a part of the educated classes. The frustration is there, but what?
There are many reasons why not choose to go no adequate means to "those above" to punish. Since only the fact is known to benefit extremist parties from low voter participation, because their voters their (An) leaders are willing to follow to the polls, as well as in the third world war. Boycott does not a system, not a republic and not the politicians at any level. Exactly where we should begin thus:
Our democracy is on a cross and a ballot paper out - when you want it! Meanwhile, we must be aware of. There is an option for "those at the top" to swear, but what it brings you and us? Get involved and join the other options. Today, fewer and fewer people are interested to get involved in politics and organizing. Usually you can bring on a social evening with friends each to his anger at the social development mal so richtig Luft zu machen. Geht es jedoch darum, gemeinsam daran etwas zu ändern, dann schrecken viele zurück und winken gar resigniert ab. Bringe sowieso nichts, heißt es dann. Auf welche Beispiele wird sich berufen, wenn man sich dieser pessimistischen Grundhaltung hingibt?
Auf dieser Art und Weise verkommt Politik zu einer Bühne, die scheinbar nur von Klonen bespielt wird. Akt für Akt das selbe Drama, mit den immer selben Gesichtern. Anstatt die Bühne zu übernehmen und das Stück umzuschreiben, sitzt das Publikum da und buht - maximal wird noch ein angebissenes Brötchen in Richtung der Darsteller geschleudert. Das dies auf der Bühne, ob der grellen Scheinwerfer und der dröhnenden Musik des Orchester, hardly perceived as a serious development that is the least of spectators in the audience clearly. The play will continue and it is really dangerous, when the first falling into the stands in a deep slumber and not at longer look. Now I may tell someone that they could leave the theater so easy, but we have no claim on what was promised to us before? The political scene has a rising and it is not that all improvisation is what happens to her. The German parties are open to every citizen - even recent history has shown that in them is room for change and upheaval.
This is not a call can be used to Election on 27 be September 2009, because for me that is a bourgeois self-understanding, as well as the right to choose to do or not do. Very well but this is a call to participate in the democratic process, because in politics actually a wonderful phrase applies to: grumble Not
