SPD, I guess. Although I might have been a DDP supporter at the beginning of the Weimar Republic... but there´s not much point in voting for a party which barely receives not more than 1% of the vote anymore.

And I´m a bit amused by the recent trend to refer to the SPD as "socialists". Almost nobody would call them "socialists" here. The PDS calls itself "socialist" and is usually referred to in that way. I find it rather confusing... every time someone mentions the term "socialists" in respect to Germany I´m thinking of the PDS, but instead the SPD is meant.

This leads to the question why the "socialists" and the communists weren´t  merged into the "Nazi disablers" for this poll? Cheesy

For all of the non-socialist and communist parties however, it didn't matter what ideology they were, because voting for them wouldn't result in that. It'd result in Hitler and the Nazis.

One could argue that every vote for the Zentrum is a vote less for the NSDAP. Had the Zentrum received 33.1% and the NSDAP just 11.9% of the vote in the last fully free Reichstag election (instead of the exact opposite, like in real history) it´s doubtful that Hitler would have been appointed Chancellor in the first place. No Hitler, no "Enabling Act". Wink

To play it safe though, I would still urge to vote for the SPD.
