Scientifically research found that Germa editors are not representative for German speaking people but far more environmetal-liberal-leftists than avarage Germans. The poll was even not representative for German editors because only a few voted.

233 is a large amount for a poll on de:wp. But it was no democratic poll, because the manner by which the poll was conducted was not democratic. A democratic and representative poll has to be equal, common and private. The poll was not common because not every user entitled to vote was noticed about the poll,

(example for a more democratic poll was the poll from the foundation in question bildfilter: it was on an anonymous server and I was notified by email that I was entitled to vote), 

it was not private, because everybody can see who choose what. And finally it was not equal, because there was no means to exclude the possibility of sock puppet voting (Which is very common and very easy as far as I know - I know an unpunished such voting).
