Excerpt from Stead's Review, Vol. 53: June 26, 1920 The German elections have disclosed the fact that the extremists have little real strength. The minority socialist candidates, it is true, have won many seats at the expense of the social democrats, but neither party holds Bol shevik or communistic views. The social democrat leaders have relied for support on the conservative elements in Parliament, and many of their fol lowers - resenting this - showed it by voting for the more extreme wing of the party. Hitherto, the German system of government made for the multiplic ity of parties. The Chancellor did not require a majority in the House to carry on the affairs of the country. When needed, a temporary alliance of different sections gave him support in vital matters, but he and his govern ment could carry on safely even if a majority of the members were hostile. Now, however, when the British sys tem has been adopted the Chancellor must have a working majority, or he is defeated and must resign. Therefore, the various parties must necessarily group themselves together, and we are already witnessing the result.
