Smaller parties attend as well, but there are too many to mention. Here is a Blog about the Piratenpartei. This party grows more and more in popularity.

Personalizing the campaign leads to splitting the candidates from the parties. They have an own Homepage with personal information. The messages of the parties are getting general and the differences appear less. This Blogger analyses the placards used in the election campaign and I hope it might be interesting for you as well.
