FDP Party Convention

 

I was in Hannover to watch the Free Democratic Party's convention (think fiscal conservatism meets social liberalism and you get the FDP) and it was an absolute media circus. Photographed in the center is Dr. Guido Westerwelle, the head of the party and member of parliament. He's one of the most famous politicians in Germany.

One of the most shocking things about this event was that anyone could register and participate for FREE. Not only that, there was almost no security presence anywhere at the event.
