Ihmisten pyyntö Rajoita valtion parlamentti: Kansalaisten osallistuminen on edelleen heikko!

In the Black Forest Baar district, it is bubbling: A referendum to reduce the state parliament causes excitement and discussions. If you want to participate in this initiative, you only have to make your signature. A form for this is available online and the administrations are obliged to collect the votes. Kuten Südkurier raportoi, vain 72 kansalaista on ilmaissut tukensa Donaueschingenissä 31. lokakuuta 2024 saakka. Ottaen huomioon yli 17 000 tukikelpoista äänestäjää, tämä on melko raittiinen tulos.

The participation is similar in the surrounding cities. Vain 54 ihmistä on tullut Hüfingeniin, kun taas Braunlingenissa kannattajien lukumäärä on 19. Kysymys siitä, miksi kiinnostus on niin alhainen, on edelleen avoin. Citizens may be political violations or are skeptical about the project. The FDP actively supported the referendum, but the response remains behind the expectations.

a complicated process

The hurdles for participation in the referendum are not high. The official collection takes place in the town halls during the usual opening times. If you want to register online, you can download and submit the form. But despite these simple options, the number of supporters remains low. The deadline for the official collection ends on December 10th, while the free collection runs until February 11, 2025.

Keskustelua valtion parlamentin koosta lisäävät edelleen tulevat vaalit vuonna 2026. Blank"> Staatszeiger could lead. The FDP has already submitted proposals to reduce the constituencies, but they also encounter little interest.

The future of the state parliament

The reforms that come into force from 2026 could further influence the number of deputies. The new voting right provides for a two-vote system that changes the allocation of the mandates. Critics fear that this could not reduce the number of seats in the state parliament, but even increase. Ennen kaikkea CDU ja vihreät voisivat hyötyä ylivoimaisista mandaateista, mikä tekee keskustelun valtion parlamentin vähentämisestä vieläkin räjähtävämmäksi.

The question remains: Will the referendum be found enough support to actually cause changes? Time is pushing and the citizens are challenged to actively participate in the design of their political landscape. Because only through broad support can the plan to reduce the state parliament, become a reality.
