  • Der Halbierte Demos
    Klaus Höpcke Der halbierte Demos Nach der Europa-Wahl: Parteiensystem delegitimiert? Wie gehen wir mit PDS-Wahlergebnissen um: Erfreut? Nüchtern? Fragen wir: Warum nicht sieben Prozent? TEXTE & ARGUMENTE (Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung in Thüringen) Thüringer Forum für Bildung und Wissenschaft e.V. 2 KLAUS HÖPCKE Von 26,5 Millionen Bürgerinnen und Bürgern der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, die am 13. Juni 2004 an der Wahl der Abgeordneten des Europa-Parlaments teil- genommen haben, was einer Wahlbeteiligung von 43 % entspricht, gaben andert- halb Millionen (genau: 1.579.693) ihre Stimme den auf einer offenen Liste ange- tretenen Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten der PDS. Das ergab einen Anteil von 6,1 % an den abgegebenen 25.780.773 gültigen Stimmen. Damit gehören dem Europäischen Parlament statt bisher sechs künftig sieben Politikerinnen und Politiker an, die das Europa-Wahlprogramm der Partei des Demokratischen Sozialismus vertreten. Es sind dies: Sylvia-Yvonne Kaufmann, Helmuth Markov, Gabi Zimmer, Tobias Pflüger, Sahra Wagenknecht, André Brie, Feleknas Uca. Wahlenthaltung einer 57-Prozent-Mehrheit Bevor wir uns den PDS-Wahlergebnissen im einzelnen zuwenden, halten wir ei- nen Augenblick bei der Wahlbeteiligung inne: Eine Mehrheit von 57 % der Wahl- berechtigten hat nicht gewählt. In der Zeitschrift „DeutschlandArchiv“ (Heft 4/2004, Seiten 556–560) wertet Hans-Georg Golz, Bonn, in einem Kommentar unter der Überschrift „Zeit des Abstrafens“ die drastische Wahlenthaltung als das gravierendste Ergebnis der Juni-Wahlen 2004. Damit hat er meines Erachtens recht. Mir scheint aber, aus dieser Tatsache ergeben sich grundsätzlichere Fragen, als er sie stellt. Die Vorstellung von der Legitimität, der politischen Rechtmäßigkeit eines de- mokratischen Staats beruht auf der Annahme, in ihm bestimme das Volk, wer ge- wählt wird und wer nicht; dem gemäß gehe die Staatsgewalt vom Volk aus.
