BSW Urges Swift Action from Bundestag Post-Karlsruhe Decision
Bundesliga side BSW calls for action from the German Parliament following the court ruling in Karlsruhe - Parliament urged to act following Karlsruhe ruling by BSW (BSW calls for action by Bundestag after Karlsruhe judgement)
Got some juicy goss? Here's a hot take on the Alliance for Progress (BSW) tugging at the Bundestag's sleeves, thanks to the Karlsruhe ruling.
The BSW, once shot down in Karlsruhe with a couple of constitutional complaints against the Bundestag, found their claims inadmissible concerning the federal election law design. They cried foul over the lack of a legally secured appeal mechanism if they barely miss the five percent threshold. The party also criticized the order of parties on ballot papers. Sadly, they couldn't make it to the Bundestag parliament with 4.98 percent in the election.
Now, they're saying the Federal Constitutional Court didn't rule whether they're entitled to a recount, according to Mohamed Ali. It did, however, establish that they can file a constitutional complaint regarding the election if the Bundestag's electoral review committee ignores their complaint past a reasonable timeframe. "It's a joke that this committee isn't even formed yet," AFP, BSW's chairwoman, quipped.
BSW insists that, based on their research, they'd probably be in the Bundestag if given a do-over, according to Mohamed Ali.

- The Alliance for Progress (BSW) is urging the Bundestag to take immediate action, following the Karlsruhe decision, in regards to the institutional framework of the election law, specific to the recount process and the order of parties on ballot papers, as they claim a do-over could potentially secure their place in the Bundestag parliament.
- The ongoing politics surrounding the BSW's constitutional complaint against the Bundestag's electoral review committee for ignoring their complaint past a reasonable timeframe highlights the need for policy-and-legislation reform within the institutional framework, ensuring a fair and efficient addressing of election disputes, as well as general news reporting on the matter.
