How do you get only 5%? That's not fair, you need more -- we've got 10% on each flank...

Personal observation and election results.

10% is approx. correct if we look at men only...

Now that is interesting. Here, I include females in the fringes on both sides because I really believe they are there and make their presence felt (no pun intended).

I think this means your women are more ladylike than some of ours...

Fuchs,

Your post on German politics was helpful.

and Ken,

Of course, German women are more ladylike - as attested by my wife who is 1/4 German (ggp's from Saxony) and looks like her 100% German gm. And further, from my friend Nick (German-American) who was stationed there for several years. He, as to the proper etiquette and phrases to use when discussing business terms with Hamburg ladies of the night. All very proper.
