Do you know how many parties had members in the parliament of the Weimar Republic when Hitler was named Chancellor?
I learned in school – not sure if this part is entirely accurate but its an interesting idea anyway – that this situation was precisely why there is a ~5% of votes, lower barrier for parties sending representatives in many modern European democracies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_threshold

No I didn’t, that’s very interesting:

What I don’t get is, how Hitler managed to take control with that many parties? He should not have been in a position with power to do that?
