Good find!
When you read stuff like this from the mainline press you realise how scared the establishment is.

"...Such concern took a new twist last week in Saxony, where to the dismay of the mainstream political parties, two deputies from amid their ranks voted for an NPD candidate and not for Georg Milbradt, a Christian Democrat who was seeking re-election as the state's prime minister..." :confused: !!!
I saw this on German television and tried like Hell to find this exact excerpt in either language

Yes, really beautiful isn't it?
In the secret ballot two non-NPD votes were cast. Panic breaks out and they ascertain that the votes must be from the CDU (Conservatives). I ask you WTF does 'secret' mean if there's a witch hunt to determine who voted according to his democratic rights which in this case means secretly?
Looking at the NPD’s special site for their bods in the Saxon parliament http://www.npd-fraktion-sachsen.de/ and then look under “Aktuell” - „Verfassungsverstoß aus Angst vor geheimer Wahl“ one sees that the fear of real democracy, where there is a true opposition, is now taking on real shape.
What has happened in short is: the NPD put forward their candidates' names for various posts in the parliament (in addition to those of the other parties). The decisions regarding who gets what would have been made by – yes you guessed it – by SECRET ballot. So what do the mainstream parties do? They remove the proposed NPD names from the ballot list. :mad: Why? - because the other parties had a cozy system where no one opposed a proposed candidate. The NPD are taking the issue to the highest German court – the Constitutional Court - to try and sort it out.
Looks like the NPD are starting well in the Saxon Parliament which means in plain English “Don’t take any sh1t”. :D

English commentary...
Listen to this short account of the NPD and the alliance with the DVU and some comments made at a NPD meeting.

...and press Listen
PS IMO the Americans - being more distant - make more balanced reports than the BBC would do.

It could have been anybody with enough sense (Menschenverstand)

No wonder I couldn’t find it. I used to depend on their tabloid site: http://www.deutsche-stimme.de . They haven’t updated this site for November

This underhanded move could profit the NPD for the following reasons:
1- The other parties have now undermined their credibility in a mutual, cooperative way
2- The NPD are now martyrs. This is the fuel I need for my print-outs which I distribute. I hope this will push doubters over the edge
