Horst Schlämmer running for German Chancellor

According to a poll, Horst Schlämmer would receive 18% of the German vote
due partly to his Obama inspired slogan, "Yes weekend"

but wat-if Horst Schlämmer/Hape Kerkeling joke backfires and he becomme Chancellor ?
 
This belongs into ASB.
1) You cannot elect a fictional character for chancellor.
2) You can't elect a German chancellor at all, you can just elect parties. Schlämmer's party is not on the list of approved parties for the next election (and didn't want to be).
3) The poll asked "could you imagine voting for". Voter turnout would likely be far less than 18% for the party.

You'll have more chances to have the APPD elect a chancellor. At least they are a real party.
