  Bavaria - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Bavaria has long been a bastion of conservative politics in Germany, with the Christian Social Union having almost a stranglehold on power since its inception in 1946.
Bavaria became a kingdom in 1806, and in 1815 the Rhenish Palatinate was annexed to it.
Bavaria managed to preserve its independence by playing off the rivalries of Prussia and Austria, but defeat in the 1866 Austro-Prussian War led to its incorporation into the German Empire in 1871.

 Louis I Of Bavaria - LoveToKnow 1911
LOUIS I., king of Bavaria (1786-1868), son of the then prince, afterwards duke and elector, Max Joseph of Zweibriicken and his wife Princess Augusta of Hesse-Darmstadt (-1796), was born at Strassburg on the 25th of August 1786.
Bavaria's power of self-defence especially was weakened by his economies and by his lack of interest in the military aspect of things.
Temporary diplomatic complications arose between Bavaria and Baden in connexion with Louis's favourite project of winning back the part then belonging to Baden of the old Palatinate, the land of his birth, which was always very dear to him.

 German Political Parties
It was the believed among these party members that the passing of this act would partially realize their individual political agendas by seemingly eliminating a powerful party of opposition.
The SPD was again in position as the opposition party but Schmidt was forced by the SPD to resign after his personal decision to appoint a Greek woman who was not a member of the SPD as party spokesperson was not supported by the party.
As the Green/Alliance’90 party considers themselves as neither left nor right, but as standing to the right of the SPD, they can probably be defined as the most centre party in the German political system.

The CSU (Christlich-Soziale Union or Christian Social Union) is the conservative party in Bavaria.
Since 1946 it is the largest party in Bavaria and except for a short period in the 1950ies (1954-1957) the Bavarian Ministerpräsident (prime minister) has been a member of the CSU.
In Bavaria however, the basis for its success is the combination of a conservative, traditional, rural image with a reformist, modernist approach.

 Germany: A Government That Will Not Govern
On Oct. 31, a combination of primarily single-issue opposition currents in the party were roped into a vote against Kajo Wasserhövel, the candidate backed by SPD party chairman Franz Müntefering for the post of party general manager.
The reshuffle of party positions that resulted from this anti-Muëntefering coup showed how much the party is in disarray, as well as not having a party program for industrial growth to begin to deal with the economic crisis the country is facing.
Party members instead got tied up in succession debates, precisely at the time that the SPD should have intervened in the coalition talks with the CDU and CSU, to get an investment- and job-creation program off the ground, as one of the first major initiatives of the Grand Coalition.

With the Christian Social Union picking up seats from smaller parties that failed to win the 5 percent minimum for a seat, it will probably assemble a politically impregnable two-thirds majority in the state Parliament.

Their parties, Germany's two biggest, have been forced to consider forming a government together because neither won a majority with their preferred coalition partners, in Merkel's case the Free Democrats and in Schroeder's case the Greens.

After a Sept. 18 parliamentary election denied both Merkel's party and the Social Democrats a clear majority, they were forced to work together in the so-called "grand coalition." As part of the deal, each side holds eight of 16 Cabinet posts, and the agreement includes policies from each camp's election platform.

 Challenger Gains an Edge In German Vote Standoff
DRESDEN, Germany, Oct. 2 -- Conservative challenger Angela Merkel's party gained a seat Sunday in the last remaining district in parliamentary balloting, boosting her chances of becoming Germany's first female chancellor and giving the party extra momentum in coalition talks to form a new government.
With all 260 electoral districts accounted for, Andreas Laemmel from Merkel's party, the Christian Democratic Union, won the contest for a seat in Dresden with 37 percent of the vote.
Roland Koch, the conservative governor of Hesse state, said the vote confirmed the Christian Democrats and their sister party in Bavaria, the Christian Social Union, as the strongest bloc in Parliament, which should choose the next chancellor.

 German challenger gets a small lift | The San Diego Union-Tribune
DRESDEN, Germany – Conservative challenger Angela Merkel's party gained a seat yesterday in the last remaining district in parliamentary balloting, boosting her chances of becoming Germany's first female chancellor and giving the party extra momentum in coalition talks to form a new government.
While the outcome of the Dresden vote does not significantly alter the results of the Sept. 18 election, the strength of an extra seat in parliament is expected to give the conservatives a psychological advantage heading into coalition talks, which have been stalled because both Merkel and Schroeder claim a mandate to be chancellor.
Such a slow pace is frustrating other parties, such as the Free Democrats, who also could try to build a government with the conservatives if a grand coalition fails to coalesce.

 HITLER'S RISE TO POWER By Dennis Barton
As Bavaria is considered to be the Catholic heartland of Germany, and Hitler was a baptised Catholic, it is sometimes implied that his movement grew out of a Catholic culture and took root amongst Catholics before spreading to the rest of the country.
His party was outlawed, and at two elections his supporters, together with others of like mind, stood as candidates of the 'Volkischer Block'.
He joined the Centre Party because most of the electors in his constituency were Catholics and it was devoted to compromise and the solving of social problems.
