we don't vote for chancellor, it's not direct like that. you vote for a candidate from a party and they vote their party's candidate.

So you vote for the party basically? hmmm
here you vote for someone that the party picked themselves as far as I'm aware since idk and quite frankly don't care about Israel's politics and Russia... LMAO

We have two votes, one where you vote for a party and one for a person from your region.
It is popular to split the vote (voting for different parties with vote no1 and 2) because sometimes you like the work the candidate does for your region but don't like the party in general or just want to even it out a bit)

Each party has a list of candidates (each person gets a rank) , how many of that people on the list get to the Bundestag depends on the percentage of the total vote that party gets.

so the second part happens here as well hmmmm
but yeah no we don't vote for the person only the party lol
I assume it is because the country is so small but oh well
interesting

I always saw all of our traditions as Greek, I never really thought about the possibility of them being done elsewhere as well tbh, so I think I'm the exact opposite
