Voting for a joke party is the most stupid thing anyone can do.
Voting for Die PARTEI effectively reduced the chance of the NPD winning a second seat.
In any case, PARTEI leader Martin Sonneborn has announced that the'yre going to keep their campaign promise of resigning their seat every 30 days, so that any of the 60 PARTEI candidates on their list gets a chance to serve for a month in the European Parliament. Sonneborn said he's gonna use his 30 days to prepare himself for his impending resignation.
...which makes sense financially as well. Everyone of them is going to draw 8000 Euros a month for six months after their one month term...
Of course, I see no valid definition of "joke party" that applies to the PARTEI but not to any of the multi-seat parties. As Sonneborn himself rightly said, "I don't think we're the craziest outfit to win a seat today."That's a racket! You mean to say Die PARTEI is going to cost 3 million Euros? That's 48,000 Euros for six months- a year's salary! I ought to have gotten on the list!
