What-If Scenarios: The Electoral Threshold
The situation becomes particularly intriguing for parties hovering near the electoral threshold. Here, you take the lead: using the checkboxes, you decide whether a 'swing party' enters the Saxony state parliament or falls short. If you 'vote a party in,' its share for the scenario is raised to the threshold; if you 'exclude it,' its seats are redistributed. PolitPro then instantly calculates an updated seat distribution and adjusts your coalition options accordingly. A click on 'Reset to Election Trend' will always return you to the baseline of current polling data.
