Yes, this is a real noble running as a MLPD candidate. She won 413 votes in Gotha-Ilm Kreis.

Strange republic is the Germany, why she need to write baronesse in the poster?

If you add up the FDP+CDU/CSU + AFD + Free Voters, that's 51.1% of the vote. It seems like a majority of the populace actually wants conservative policies and it's only because the AFD is too toxic to work with you have a left-wing goverment.

In the party list vote, the alone that count in the german system is
11.5+18.9+5.2+10.3+2.4=48.3

I find it astonishing that there are 736 members. That's for sure too much, but I'd trade the political system of Germany or most other European nations any day of the week with our system here.

It seems like a lot but the UK has 650 MPs with a population of about 65 million and Germany has 736 with a population of over 80 million - and Canada has 338 with a population of 38 million - so in terms of MP per capita its not unreasonable

Seems a little too much, either. I think the US House should have about 650 members. 500-550 seems more approriate for Germany and/or UK.

but in the USA there were thousands of state lawmakers
