Beste Elsie
In the current, March 2006, edition of History Today on "Boer Prisoner of
War Art" (www.historytoday.com may give access to the article) which gives
some idea of the number of Boer prisoners sent to camps in the Bermudas, St
Helena, India and Ceylon - it startled me to see how many there were and how
excruciating it must have been to the the spirit.

The art being talked about seems to have been of the craft type and gives an
insight on how strong the sense of community was (is?).

  "How do they know they've got at least 5% unless they count them?
  I suppose you mean take into acount

David,
Of course the votes are counted. A party achieving less than 5% doesn't get
seats in the "Bundestag", that's all.
