How Germany’s democracy works

I visited the German parliament about a month ago, and even managed to get to the press gallery while the Bundestag, the parliament, was discussing the treaty of Lisbon. After that I decided to find out more about how the parliament works. While I may still write a post about it on this blog, this report from The Economist does a good job of explaining how the German electoral system works. By the way, elections to the Bundestag is today.
