Question 4

Discuss how AFD did in 2017?

Answer 4

11.5 of con vote
12.6 of party list vote
3 con MPs
91 party MP’s

this shows con seat not worth much compared to party seat and nutters can get into the par-t seats, in terms of the UK, UKIP got 12.6 but only received 1 MP so imagine this with party seats hmmm not good #byebyenige

Question 5

What was the turnout in 1972?

Answer 5

91.1% this was due to a vote of no confidence

the first time that eighteen year-olds had had the right to vote; and the first time that the SPD had
entered an election campaign with the advantages and disadvantages of being the major governing party.

Question 6

What was the turnout in 2009?

Answer 6

70.8%, this is the lowest after the war

//compared to the UK who’s lowest turnout was 59.4%, there is a clear difference in turnout. Those who argue that FPTP increases turnout due to simplicity of the ballot can be disproved by this, some argue MMP is difficult to understand with 2 diff types of votes but this clearly does not put them at a disadvantage.
