Die Welt wrote on this book´s author: »Martin Sonneborn is a partisan of parody.« The Titanic editor-in-chief Martin Sonneborn founded Die Partei in August 2004 with the aim of rebuilding the wall. Just a few weeks later, surveys revealed that 21 percent of German citizens identified with the plan. Today, the Party has over 8000 members in East and West.
Martin Sonneborn learned his political skills from scratch: first he became a member of all the German parties (only the NPD and DVU turned him down because of his anti-Nazi activities). Then he and his Titanic staff carried out undercover election campaigns on behalf of the CDU of Hesse, Möllemann’s FDP and Bavaria’s SPD.
Party activities such as the building of the wall on the inner German border on November 9th, the Ebay auctioning of TV election commercials for the Bundestag, a state visit to Georgia, chancellor candidate casting in front of 800 spectators always attract the interest of the media.
This book about the unstoppable rise of the party is an indispensable guide for anyone wanting to assume power in Germany: funnier than the CDU party membership book, more popular than the SPD party membership book and more serious than the entire FDP!
