Sure you do, as long as you vote for the candidate that the state prefers.

That isn’t how soviet style democracies work. For example, the municipal assemblies of Cuba have multiple candidates for each seat, which are not chosen by the party. Those councils then choose a national representative for their municipality, which is confirmed by a popular vote.

Again, look up “Wir gehen falten”.

Link to what you’re referring to please, I didn’t find anything interesting in the search.
