Political positions

After the defeat of the FDP in the Berlin state election in 2011, Pfeil told the Frankfurter Neue Presse that the majority of voters were too uneducated to understand the FDP's message. Therefore it will never become a people's party. To be liberal is not a mass opinion. When asked whether he was annoyed by the pirates' success in Berlin, Pfeil said that no, that didn't annoy him, that he had given up. He added: "I despair of the unwillingness of voters to do a little bit smarter." The statements sparked indignant reactions from numerous other politicians.
