In the 2019 European elections, Semsrott was elected to the European Parliament as the second party-list candidate from Die PARTEI. His Party received 2.4%. Unlike other elections in Germany, there is no 5%- threshold concerning the European Parliament elections. In the preelection Semsrott criticized the lack of attention given to younger generations in a TV advertisement. A survey made after the election showed that votes for “die PARTEI” came especially from first-time voters (about 9% of this group).

The Party – Die PARTEI was established in 2004 by the editorial board of the Frankfurt-based satirical monthly Titanic. Its platform calls for the rebuilding of the Berlin Wall, a declaration of war on Liechtenstein, a cap on the price of beer and the abduction of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Its activities initially stirred a combination of bewilderment, amusement and uneasiness.
