		Thanks to Gysi's involvement, the party's prospects for the upcoming parliamentary elections are vastly improved.
		However in the 2002 parliamentary elections, following Gysi's temporary withdrawal from politics due to an air-miles scandal, it fell short of the 5 percent threshold necessary for inclusion in the federal parliament.

	PDS leader Gysi takes over posts in Berlin cabinet Drastic budget cuts planned for the German capital
		From the very beginning Gysi sought to refute the argument by established parties in the west of the country that the SED-PDS was incapable of introducing pro-market economic policies.
		The muted political reaction by German business and political circles to the integration of the PDS and Gysi into official politics in Berlin is above all recognition of the role played by the PDS in other eastern German states in implementing pro-market policies at the expense of the broad layers of the population.
		Although leading members of the SPD and PDS have denied that the Berlin coalition should be seen as a prediction of the direction of national politics, the entry of the PDS into the governing coalition in the capital provides the SPD with a further potential alliance partner as national elections approach.
