Preview and reports of a decision by Germany's top court, the Federal Constitutional Court, in February 2014 on whether political parties still needed at least 3% of the vote to get into the European Parliament. The ruling was seen by some that could open the door to more fringe movements in the May 2014 elections. The Court announced its decision on the 26 February 2014. The judgement abolished the rule that said political parties needed at least 3% of the vote to enter the European Parliament. The court said the hurdle infringed on parties’ rights to equal opportunities. |
