Law And Order Offensive PartyThe Law and Order Offensive Party (German: Partei Rechtsstaatlicher Offensive), short form Offensive D (the "D" means "Deutschland"/"Germany") is a minor political party in Germany. It was founded in July 2000 by Hamburg judge Ronald Schill. It wished to call itself PRO but was forbidden from doing so by the Pro-DM party. Because of this the official short form was "Schill" and the party called itself Schill-Partei (Schill Party) 2000-2003. The policies of the party are right-populist. In the 2001 elections to the Hamburg state parliament it came third and received 19,4% of votes/25 members. It went into coalition with the CDU and FDP which broke down in August 2003 after CDU mayor Ole von Beust accused Schill of extortion. In December 2003 the party decided to expel Schill. In the 2004 Hamburg elections the party under the new leader Mario Mettbach only reached 0,4% and did not qualify for seats. After the election Mettbach and most of the other members left the party, some of them joining the CDU. The members who hadn't left elected Markus Wagner as new leader and changed their name to Offensive D External link
