Germany European Election posters

One of the biggest differences between the UK and Germany was the visibility of election posters for the European elections. There were posters on lampposts all over Berlin city centre. The specific political parties varied. The SPD (social democrats) posters were all over the city. The CDU (christian democrats) were mainly in the richer areas. Die Linke (democratic socialists, Pirate Party (direct democrats) and an MLPD (marxist-leninists) were mainly in the poorer areas. I also saw one FDP (liberals) in a residential area.

Information about the political parties in Germany can be found on wikipedia here.

So for the record, here are the posters i saw... (translated using google translate)

 SPD

A Europe of Democracy. Not of Paternalism.

 A Europe of the people. Not of money.










Simple pro-EU phrases but quite appealing.


CDU

Joachim Zeller
Berlin's voice for Europe

Sharing success in Europe










Promoting candidate(s) linked to the (popular) Chancellor Angela Merkel. 


Der Linke

No taxpayers' money for gamblers banks!










Not a EU-related slogan but a popular one.


Piraten

Borders are so 80s
Pirates. Europe. Borderless.

Between fear and courage
Lies only a heartbeat
Pirates. Europe. Borderless.








I love these posters. Great designs and a pro-EU message.


MLDP

Rebellion against the EU is justified










Interesting slogan for this anti-EU poster.


FDP

Opportunities for everyone instead of rules for all
That requires our Europe
Alexander Graf Lambsdorff
FDP. The Liberals.





A good liberal pro-EU message and also promoting a candidate not just a party. What's not to like? :)
