Explanation

The 5% threshold in the electoral law of the Federal Republic of Germany was introduced to facilitate government formation and promote a stable political landscape. If too many small parties are represented in parliament, it can lead to fragmentation, making it difficult to form a functional government. This ensures that the government has a clear majority to make effective decisions.
