A turnout of 57%, the absolute majority for the SPD and 2.1% for the pirates. They are at first glance, the results of state elections in Hamburg. I'll be honest: At first glance, the election result was somewhat disappointing for me. Actually I was hoping for 3% + x for the pirates. But probably that too much was expected. The circumstances were not good for us in Hamburg: 1 The choice was very short notice - after the dissolution of the CDU / GAL administration in 2010 was the Pirate Party in Hamburg prepare very little time to prepare for the election. For a small party that is difficult: the choice of signatures needed for approval are collected, wrote a program and candidates are looking for ... and after that a campaign be conducted, for which one actually has any money (in comparison to The Left Party, for example, by about a factor of 20 less). In the short time it is difficult to present itself as a serious alternative. 2. In Hamburg there was an extreme change of mood. The people were justifiably sick of black and green, they wanted the policy change. The experience of other shows from NRW, however, that voters eager dare change any experiments. Select the "large" option and not the small parties. This is different than for example in Baden-Württemberg - The mood for change is not a new development. 3. The election in Hamburg favored celebrities. I would guess that voters tend to smaller parties that they give, one or more voice of a possible grand coalition party. The voters of the SPD will have not more done if you look at the election result looks ... Moreover, the pirates set up a democratic basis and content-centered - we have deliberately not "large heads", which you can then pick from the lists. But on second glance, the result is actually very good: 1 In the general election of 2009, pirates had a hype. We were in all media, our subjects were just * The * hit ... the absolute 2% was given to us. Then we had to earn everything hard. We fell very rudely in the political reality and the loss of meaning. We had to build structures and cope with the rapid growth - and we had to and have to compete with players who for decades had time to build their networks and many times can invest money. In Hamburg, the pirates the election results despite adverse conditions, have fought hard. Them nothing was given to each voter had to be convinced ... and they have received over 70,000 votes. 2. The pirates are back in Hamburg, the largest extra-parliamentary Force has become. You have well over twice as many votes as the NPD, and more than NPD + FDP + ödp together. This shows that we continue to be the real alternative to the parliamentary parties. Who wants a policy change, who wants a new party - who must come to the pirates. This has been confirmed in Hamburg. We are establishing ourselves in the long term is important for Germany: With a voter turnout of only 57% provides almost half the people have no sense in an election. This has to change again. A democracy that is not accepted by the majority of its people, has a problem. I hope we can contribute to long term to address this problem. 3. In the first-time voters we have, according to the ARD receive about 6% of the vote ... In the long run we will come into the parliament, because with each election, with new Pirates voters. 4. It is also very likely that the pirates have done the impossible - and one (or more) seat (s) are captured in the district representative assemblies. In the district of Hamburg-Nord, the Pirates 3.3% on the national list ... if the result for the District Assembly representatives also looks like it would be enough for the 3% hurdle! 5. It is also possible that one or another constituency candidate of the pirates, as our top candidate (# 1 on the country list) Claudius Holler Constituency Altona a good result and maybe even the entry made in the citizenry has - through the complicated counting of the election it will take time before that's for sure (2008 Bernhard Schillo had after the same mode in the constituency Altona 6th place occupied by the candidate and thus the entry into the citizenship only missed by one place). In short, the pirates in Hamburg, have shown that they can compete for votes. We have established ourselves as a permanent political force. The parliamentary parties must continue to count on us and this will also see them at the next state election! All in all, the pirates in Hamburg managed a real coup, and so I am very grateful! Now it's up to the Pirates in Saxony-Anhalt, Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg to build on this result, to improve it and to show that we are prepared to fight on. And we will schaffen.Quelle: S. Mink Pirate Party BW
