To be fair the ruling is part of your voting system needs to be tweaked to make it even more fair. That is no embarrassment. Quite the opposite I would say. Your system is working on further improving itself and that should look messy not neat and tidy.

Compared to many western democracies the German system is quite enviable.

The embarassment lies in the 'twice'.

How difficult can it be to design a voting system that is coherent with our most fundamental law?
