Wie war noch meine Forderung: acht mal im Monat wählen gehen @50€ pro Stimmabgabe, ist die einzige (bzw. eine der wenigen) Vorraussetzungen (Kriterium) für eine Integration. Die 400€ sind somit ein bedigungsloses Grundeinkommen.

Rating democracy on a scale from 0 to 10 is inherently subjective and can vary based on the specific metrics and perspectives one uses. However, using Walter Deutsch‘s criteria—representation, delegation, agenda setting, and standards—here is a way to analyse Germany’s democracy:
1. **Representation**:
Germany has a mixed-member proportional representation system, which aims to balance the proportionality of party representation with individual constituency representation. This system generally ensures a high level of representation for diverse political views.
– **Rating: 9/10**
2. **Delegation**:
The German political system allows for effective delegation through regular elections at federal, state, and local levels. The Bundestag (federal parliament) is elected every four years, providing opportunities for citizens to delegate power to their chosen representatives.
– **Rating: 8/10**
3. **Agenda Setting**:
Germany’s agenda setting is influenced by a multi-party system, coalition governments, and active civil society. Citizens can influence the agenda through elections, referenda (although less frequently used), and a vibrant media landscape.
– **Rating: 8/10**
4. **Standards**:
Germany upholds high democratic standards, with strong rule of law, protection of fundamental rights, and robust checks and balances. Independent institutions and a free press contribute to maintaining these standards.
– **Rating: 9/10**
Based on the above analysis, Germany scores highly on all four criteria. Combining these ratings, Germany’s democracy could be rated around **8.5/10**. This reflects a robust democratic system with effective representation, delegation, agenda setting, and adherence to high democratic standards, while acknowledging that there is always room for improvement.
