Well according to the earlier post they have to get three seats to be seated and they only have two... So what does this mean?
This is just way too confusing to me and it is goofy...

I know I didnt understand it until this year when I spent four months there. To get in parliament a party needs to get either 3 directly elected seats or 5 percent of the national vote (prevents parties like the NAZIs from getting in power). Their ballot is one for direct representation, one for proportional by voting for a party, 1/2 parliament is elected by each.

The two commies get their seats in any case if they won in their district. You can't deny a directly elected representative his seat.
