No luck this year for the APPD. Due to formal errors, the application was rejected by the Federal Election Committee. While the Pogo anarchists try to put a positive spin on the situation, it seems the time for the party has passed. In contrast, the party "Die Partei" of satirist Sonneborn shows that things can turn out differently, as they are officially allowed to participate in the federal election.
Result of the committee meeting "Recognition of parties for the 2013 federal election":
The APPD will not be recognized as a party for the 2013 federal election.
The APPD submitted an informal notice of participation for the 2013 federal election. The goal was not necessarily to be recognized as a party, but to obtain the status of 'voter group'. This is only possible if participation in the election is informally announced. No further prerequisites need to be met for this. A non-recognition was calculated from the outset as a form of anticipatory obedience.
This was done solely because as a 'voter group', the short name of the party - APPD - now appears on the ballot next to the names of the two direct candidates (Julian Hemmeter in Nürnberg-Nord and Richard Schmidtke in Marburg). Without the notice of participation, this would not be the case. This was the intuition of the APPD election agent, which is why all other formal requirements were intentionally not fulfilled to avoid work.The APPD remains a party. The Federal Election Committee does not decide who is a party based on the Federal Election Law, but only on election admission. The Party Act determines who is a party. For the upcoming federal election, the APPD was not admitted as a party, but as a voter group.
Once a party - always a party! With or without election admission.This new possibility is thanks to a change in election law, which was realized, among other things, through the complaint of several parties, including the APPD, to the OSCE in 2009.
Work is shit - order must be maintained! Vote for APPD!
