Only 40,3% voted, historical record.
www.ksta.de...
True thats a historical low. I dont get it. Are people not bothered to come out and vote, or do they support sheltering the refugees. We hear that the bigots are the loudest, so for sure, all concerned citizen against refugees voted against her, the rest just did not care or voted in favour of refugees. All considered she won! So the people in favour of refugees must outnumber the ones against by a huge huge margin! This tells me that people really do want the refugees, wow, I am quite surprised.

Don't be surprised. I really can't speak for this particular election, because I know too little about the people that were running.
I can tell you without a doubt, in my mind least ways, that here in the US, a person winning an election, very rarely anymore actually wins, because it is the will of the people, or even who the people voted for.
Voting has become an unreliable joke in the US. The government in no longer run by the people.

The common man wants suicide? Are you nuts?

No, they don't. The truth is somewhere in between. Problems with refugees emerge mainly due to government failures, mismanagment in shelter constructions etc.
I think people are not willing to sacrifice their humanity for the delusion of security. We can only close our borders and hearts for the suffering, but we can't stop the influx of refugees directly. Luckily most of us Krauts won't allow this to happen and rather help their fellow humans.
I didn't expect anything else. The amount of opposing opinions on ATS is rather surprising to me. Never imagined you guys that far out in space, always leaning something new here.

This is just a mayoral election, something not worth rigging, but something that gives you the pulse of the common man. Looks like the common man wans to commit suicide.
