Deceptive Packaging = Bogus Packaging - The CDU's Trickery in the Weißenfels City Council ElectionOnce again it proves true: A deceptive or bogus package does not contain what it says on the label. That’s why it’s called a bogus package. The same trick works on the ballot paper... 
Sitting at breakfast, the thoughts came back. I only wanted to spread butter on my roll. The package boldly said: “spreadable.” Yet it didn’t roll up as usual and was hard to spread on the roll. And there it was again, my thought: It’s not always what’s inside the package that the label claims. It was the same a week ago during the local elections. On election day, my neighbor proudly told me he had just come from the polling station and voted for Martin. “He’s a real fine guy, young and full of energy. He’ll get it done,” he said with a happy smile. I looked at him and hesitated. “And where did you put your crosses?” he wanted to know. I didn’t want to tell him and just replied, “Well, definitely not for mayor. Because he’s not running for that office, but for city council.” I saw the many question marks on his face and tried to explain it to him. After a few minutes, we said goodbye. So my neighbor proudly voted for Martin Papke, only to be told afterward that he hadn’t actually voted for him. For an older gentleman who neither reads newspapers nor uses social media, that’s understandable. But how many others are in the same boat? From the election result, it seems sympathy won the vote. I seriously wonder if this bogus packaging was deliberately set up, counting on the naivety of many people. I think it was—and the plan worked. But how little trust must the CDU candidates have in their voters to stoop so low and resort to such tricks? I looked at the exact results. Martin Papke secured over 47 percent of the votes that went to the CDU, and almost 15 percent of all voters’ ballots. This gave the CDU nearly 31 percent overall, earning 12 seats in the Weißenfels city council. How would the results have looked if Martin, the one my neighbor was so proud of, hadn’t been on the list? Maybe other CDU candidates would have gotten a few more votes. Or maybe not—and candidates from other parties would now be represented on the council, making it more diverse. Sleight of hand or bogus packaging, however you want to see it. But one thing is clear to me: After this shabby deception of many uninformed voters, my trust in a man with so much potential is completely lost. This shows how much pressure a party can exert. But an honest person wouldn’t have participated in something like this in the first place. Now, unwanted future city councilors enjoy the votes they conned their way into.
