We for Gelsenkirchen, December 7th, 2008, archived from the original on November 6th, 2009 ; accessed on April 10, 2009 : "The following can be read in the WAZ :" Gelsenkirchen's Lord Mayor Frank Baranowski (SPD) is in favor of making it more difficult for groups of voters and individual applicants to enter municipal parliaments with a threshold clause . "In our view, Frank Baronowski with his statements, showed his true colors and what he thinks of democracy. People who think differently and who only feel obliged to the citizen are obviously a thorn in his side and undesirable. "
- ↑ Jürgen Polzin: Local election: Gelsenkirchen mayor calls for threshold clauses. In: www.derwesten.de . WAZ , December 7, 2008, accessed on July 8, 2015 : “Gelsenkirchen's Mayor Frank Baranowski (SPD) is in favor of making it more difficult for groups of voters and individual applicants to enter municipal parliaments with a threshold clause. "When I see that in the fragmented councils of the town halls, political majorities can only be achieved with large coalitions, then that worries me. I consider a threshold of two or three percent to be necessary," Baranowski told WAZ A mixed city council doesn’t always bring a breath of fresh air to local politics, ”he warned. With five parliamentary groups, one voter group and two individual mandates in the Gelsenkirchen council, it is now very time-consuming to organize majorities. Council meetings have now lasted twice as long. Decisions were often delayed Council members report on important issues such as budget issues because there were no majorities. "
