Would the Weimar Republic have avoided the Nazi takeover if?
1) There was a 5% rule
2) The Chancellor was nominated by the Parliament and only removable by a majority vote of the whole parliament for a different head of government
3) Early elections only if a Chancellor proposes and then loses a vote of confidence.
My assumption is that 1) Keeps the Nazis out of Parliament in 1928 (but could they have won 3 consituency seats in Bavaria?
I also assume that not having seats in 1928 would prevent Nazis making big gains in the first post crash election
