<p>selecting the candidates is not considered "a participation in the
<br>political decision making of the people" ?

<pre>Actually, the main reason why I promote party boxes is that in Germany
STV without party boxes would certainly be declared unconstitutional
because of Article 21 Section 1 Sentence 1. ("The political parties
participate in the political decision making of the people.")</pre>
