Union does not have enough covered smiles despite inner ingenuity

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Union not smiling enough despite inner ingenuity (UngüLtiG) was a political group of the 1980s.

The party founder and chairman (“boss”) was Hans Arold, a then 23-year-old student in Frankfurt am Main . In the local elections in Frankfurt in 1985, the party received 736 votes (0.2%). In 1987 the party had around 600 members in three regional associations and one branch in Austria. In the state elections in Hesse in 1987 , the group ran in the constituencies of Frankfurt am Main V and Offenbach-Stadt and achieved a total of 244 votes, which corresponds to 0.2% in the Frankfurt constituency with 99 votes and 0.3% in the Offenbach constituency with 145 votes . Invalid applied for the 1987 Bundestag election , but was not approved because of doubts about the seriousness of its objectives. After the election, Arold and the federal board members Thomas Bagatsch (“Vice President”) and Michaela Weidemann (press spokesman, “big brother”) filed an election review complaint , which was rejected by the Federal Constitutional Court , as groups of eligible voters, including political parties, are not entitled to file an election review complaint.
