Edit: this and this has the probably more useful explanation wrt to use in practical scenarios, and here’s the direct download link to the mentioned dash fat executable file
Well said. Just a nitpick, of the two bigger parties (ignoring anything <3% here) which didn’t succeed in entering parliament, one is starkly not leftist (FDP, free democrats, i.e. “free market”), and the other is arguably financially left, but socially right (BSW, alliance Sahra Wagenknecht, a very young party that split off from the Left (the leftist party which made it into Bundestag) due to internal differences.
Die Linke wird, egal wie die Wahl ausgeht, zu 95% nicht die deutsche Außenpolitik mitbestimmen. Wieso ist das also ein Faktor? Keine Partei bietet einem volle Übereinstimmung zu den eigenen Ansichten (hoffe ich zumindest mal…), die man vielleicht gerne hätte.Man muss in der Konsequenz also überall Abstriche in Kauf nehmen, also wieso nicht dort, wo es eh keinen Effekt haben wird? (unter der Annahme, dass einem die sonstige Politik der Linken zuspricht)
Why doesn’t this compare time spent traveling over mileage traveled (genuine question)?
One would expect the vast majority of planes to be faster than the vast majority of trains, so of course they’d have less accidents per mile traveled even if the same number of accidents occurred (I think).
Whereas with time spent, maybe as an additional data point, it becomes fairer to compare, right?
I’d thought so, but forgot there’s actually people who cannot vote (shocker), so in my mind I went “okay, near-70% turnout, so why didn’t he get closer to 35% rather than 20?”… but this in addition to the turnout this time being lower than I remembered makes waaaay more sense, lol.
Reminder. :P
