The mock version of German politics was very interesting to me. The most memorable or the most interesteing fact was that even if there are not many members elected in division, the party can control the power and get many seats(FDP). We had to go through many differnt steps to elect people and elect parties to represent the certain division of the country, which was the same as other countries.
But after they were elected, just certain party was focused on certain party of the issue instead of whole congress decide on everything together as votes, which means German political system might be very inefficient because there might be a huge disagreement on certain decision that one party makes decision.
Also like a mock trial version, it can have a huge controversal or can be easily corrupted by group of political parties join together to demolish the other political group, which means even if FDP won the majority of seat, they could become the one that could be useless in German politics.
According to Dr. Dasovic, this decision can take upto 2 months, which means by the time politicians were elected, it would take two months to make them settle and move forward and make decisions instead of jump in and make differnces right away.
I think there will be corruptions in German politics easily and can be very difficult to maintain.

If you are interested in German politics and the coalition process there you may be interested to read about the lastest trend of the Green party and the Conservative joining forces to form a government – despite previously have very differing political outlooks.
As it just happens… I’ve written a blog about this here: http://stephenmadden.wordpress.com/2008/04/17/schwarz-grun-coalition-in-hamburg-sig/
