It was not hard to find this video clip when I searched on youtube. It was one of the first results on the catchword " Junge Wähler" (young voters).
Dr. Elke Leonhard is speaking, a German politician who was member of the Deutsche Bundestag until 2005. In her 40seconds speech she wants to ask young people to vote on September 27th, 2009. It seems so ridiculous for us to see her saying "Wichtig ist, dass Sie zur Wahl gehen[...]" (it is important that you go voting), which is the only statement she indicates in this speech. A while ago, I uploaded the costly US American video clip where celebrities encourage young people to go voting. This video clip had such an appealing character and pointed out how important it is to vote, especially for young people. Comparing now this video clip to Dr. Leonhard's video clip, which has basically the same appeal, it is only ridiculous. This clip is so poor regarding the "making-of" and the basic idea behind it. Of course, I found some other clips, too, but I chose the one on top of the list.
In my opinion, it somehow reflects how many young people think about our German political system and our conservative Chancellor. Mostly young people wish to have some kind of the Obama-hype in Germany,too. They see how Obama gained so many young people in his election campaign and they want to be part of this enthusiastic hype. But in Germany there is no hype. Politics seem to be very dull so that most young people cannot identify with it. Dr. Leonhard's attempt to encourage the people to go voting does not really work out, I GUESS!
