15th March 2009 The boom is here -. At least when it moors on the growth of new parties during the major parties continue to lose credibility (not only considering its without profile, but also because now that the crisis in mind, again doctored just the symptoms, rather than finally causes the reason to go), others show founder mood. These, the currently emerging "small parties" is common that they are not primarily as an opposition, and not act as radical protesters with the approach, but rather a solution-oriented, the whole thing in sight.
I would like to present here a selection:
- Libertas Party of Germany is an offshoot of the Libertas movement that was initiated by the Irishman Declan Ganley (one of the most responsible for Ireland's No to the EU Treaty of Lisbon) and also in other European countries already active. It occurs at a fundamental reform "of the European Union and its institutions with the demand for democracy, transparency, accountability and subsidiarity." Specifically, this means that the 3,000-page EU constitution made clear and all nations shall be submitted to a vote. Party leader in Germany is Judge Carlos A. Gebauer, some one may be familiar from the RTL television series "The Court". Although the party in this country only on 3 March 2009 have been lifted out of the baptism will, they already compete for the European elections - provided it gets enough votes.
- Even more recent is the party's good , which was based in Jena, the day before yesterday. The program is visible on the homepage at the moment rather a list of collected ideas about what should go in the future of our society differently. Also found in the text are numerous spelling errors. As the Declaration states: "We are a brand new party. So even on this website is not all perfect. Every day we work to expand and improve. "Let's wait.
- Also, the Pirate Party is part of a larger, even worldwide movement here (2009: 18 countries), to participate in the mainly young people. The fierce-looking at first somewhat misleading name, because the party just in times of increasing control, the paradigm shift from respectable concerns of a "transparent citizen to the transparent state." “, etwa mittels verbessertem Datenschutz. Your objectives are therefore to promote free knowledge and free culture, above all through a reform of copyright and patent law (eg in terms of Creative Commons ), and the "protection against the surveillance state", such as through improved data protection. In Germany, the party was on 10 Launched in September 2006. They also want to run for the European elections, the main issue in election year is the informational self-determination of the Germans.
- The Party of the reason was due to the huge response, the zeitgeist-author a column by Oliver Janich in FOCUS Money triggered ( we reported ). In spite of the term in the name of the party as such has not yet constituted, what should happen but the chairman Janich According soon. "Courage, truth and freedom" committed, one reads on the establishment of any party website again and again even subtle analysis of important issues from the economy and society.
Although even longer existent, but also for a renewal in the holistic sense - and hunting for votes for the European elections 2009:
- The Violet , founded on 6 January 2001. The reservoir spiritually oriented.
- Human environment animal protection , animal welfare as well known party, founded on 13 February 1993. Most members are - at least according to Wikipedia - vegetarians or vegans.
- Departure for civil rights, freedom and health , founded in May 1998. Chairman of the physician, author and critic Hans Christoph Scheiner dedicated mobile.
- Human economic party , on the ideas of the Free Economic and monetary reformer Silvio Gesell Planters (1862-1930) builds (in zeitgeist-issue 1-2007 presented in a nutshell). Accordingly, the focus is still on the establishment of a "more humane market economy." Established on 9 September 1950.
... And the moral: the times that parties were founded purely out of spite, or as a provocation "gag", one thinks, for example, of the Anarchist Pogo Party of Germany, the fun party or the party of the Titanic employees seem to pass final be. What counts today is the practical benefit - and thus the real added value to society of tomorrow.
Hello!
Another - in my opinion worth mentioning - the party Newropeans who want to compete also on the EU election.
They want to democratize the EU. I have a feeling that Libertas has a very similar goal.

Currently taking shape in Switzerland, a party who intends to implement the approach of "integral politics" of the American philosopher Ken Wilber in a party manifesto. The goal is for the winter of 2009/10 a Swiss party. For more info: http://www.integrale-politik.ch/d/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=59&Itemid=72
A very interesting approach and a good initiative.
The position paper can be found here: http://www.integrale-politik.ch/d/images/stories/dateien/verein/glpkurz-web.pdf
It must not always be parties who want to change something in this country for the better.
Offers a slightly different approach, "Willi way." The basic idea is to select on the first vote in the general election about 269 independent MPs in the Bundestag. A really interesting idea.
Interesting list, although I'm still in my search came across the OPD (offensive Party of Germany), which are also available for some time, but probably with a better chance to eventually get at the helm. The link http://www.opd-politik.de
If the link does not work, I've also added the if.
Hello people,
tried some games with direct democracy. You appointed politicians who run by an imperative mandate, finally the will of the people!
We should get the votes of the politically motivated non-voters, citizens could change the laws in parliament. The majority of society would have the chance to abolish the minority dictatorship. On 22 June 2010 founding. Maybe someone recognizes the historical approach.
Since 2000, it is true more and more party-ups, the first parties still Protestparteien.Leider but I win more and more the impression that other foundations will only be made in order was to collect as many small parties können.Das worst example of the merger of the PDS and WASG.Die PDS today in the Left Party
say that, although the WASG was really a new departure party, and the PDS is a Stalinist hatte.Mein behind some impression that the political parties with a new idea will read greetings from the old parties ausgeschaltet.Der Election Committee!.
