elections

Karl Leibknecht declared the 1st German Republic just as Kaiser Bill slunk away in 1919. Unfortunately Karl ended up in the Landeswehr Canal in Berlin and as we know the first attempt at democracy here ended in tears.
Karl lived in the house for a while, he was born nearby and in Leipzig a very popular street is named after him. His dad Wilhelm another pioneering socialist has a place in Leipzig named after him.

I just wish that I had been able to discern a valid manifesto from the current bunch of politicians (and I use the word in its derogatory sense) and had been been able to make a reasonable decision. In the end I did, Ididn't vote.
