Re: German political parties and elections
Quote:

Schmidt, who was extracted from the NPD with the assistance of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, cited the NPD's abandonment of democratic principles as his reason for quitting the party.

... and how is THIS "democratic"?
Quote:
The president of the government agency, Rainer Stock, told reporters that Schmidt had approached the Office for the Protection of the Constitution and had asked about possible protective measures as he considered leaving the extremist party.
Stock added that he hoped that Schmidt's decision would send a positive signal to any NPD members considering the same move and that any wanting to leave the party would get the same level of support.
This pledge was reiterated by Saxony's Minister of the Interior Albrecht Buttolo.

They are dealing with a party with democratic representation as if it was a sect, and pressing on its people to abandon it (aka "send a positive signal.. ").
This is indecent!
