	Germany: the career of Christian Democratic Union leader Angela Merkel Part 1: East Germany--youth and political beginnings
		This is the first of a two-part article on the political career of Angela Merkel, leader of Germany’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and chancellor candidate of the "Union"--the conservative bloc of the CDU and Christian Social Union--in the federal elections expected to take place this September.
		In the 2002 federal elections, she ceded the chancellor candidacy to Edmund Stoiber, leader of the CDU’s smaller sister party in Bavaria, the Christian Social Union (CSU).
		Despite all the differences between the political leaders in East and West Germany, there was a fundamental view they both shared with the church: a profound antipathy to any independent popular movement based on their fears of an uncontrollable revolutionary development of the working class.

	AllRefer.com - Germany - Political Parties - Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union German Information Resource
		Following World War II, the Christian Democratic Union (Christlich Demokratische Union--CDU) was founded by a diverse group of Catholics and Protestants, businesspeople and trade unionists, and conservatives and moderates.
		Germany's population increased through unification, and thus it has become more difficult for the CSU to pass the 5 percent electoral threshold at the national level.
		The decision to regulate the organization and activities of political parties reflects lessons learned from Germany's experience during the post-World War I Weimar Republic, when a weak multiparty system severely impaired the functioning of parliament ary democracy and was effectively manipulated by antidemocratic parties.

	The German Right: Markets, Morality and Migration, by Jan-Werner Mueller
		When Helmut Kohl's Christian Democratic Union was crushed in the federal election of 1998, Germany's longest-serving chancellor left behind a party that was not only ideologically exhausted, but also in organizational shambles, because the entire party had been organized around Kohl.
		Given Merkel's weakness, it is not surprising that Edmund Stoiber, prime minister of Bavaria and head of the CDU's Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union, has been positioning himself as the most likely conservative candidate for the federal election in 2002.
		The CDU got back on its feet after its strategists hit on what seemed to be a winning issue: the Christian Democrats fiercely opposed the planned liberalization of the citizenship law, which would have significantly lowered the barriers to the naturalization of foreigners in Germany.

	Young Union ca.1953-ca.1970 (Christian Democratic Union, Germany)
		The youth organization of the CDU (and the CSU) is the JU (Junge Union, Young Union).
		I am pretty sure that the historical CDU flag was never used (at least officially) by the CSU, but perhaps that was different for the JU flag, as the organizational structure of the JU implies a closer cooperation between the JU Bayern and the rest of the JU, compared to the CDU-CSU relationship.
		As this election poster was a CSU one, not a CDU one, this implies, that perhaps the JU flag was also used by the JU Bayern, at least to some extent.
