	German Political Parties
		Because of the central role played by German political parties, many observers refer to Germany as a "party state." The government of this type of state rests on the principle that competition among parties provides for both popular representation and political accountability for government action.
		Although only 3 to 4 percent of voters were members of a political party, all the major parties experienced a decrease in party membership in the early 1990s, possibly a result of the increased distrust of political parties.
		Article 21 of the Basic Law places certain restrictions on the ideological orientation of political parties: "Parties which, by reason of their aims or the behavior of their adherents, seek to impair or abolish the free democratic basic order or to endanger the existence of the Federal Republic of Germany, shall be unconstitutional.

	German Conservative Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The German Conservative Party (Deutsche Konservative Partei or DKP) was a German political party of the Second Reich, founded in 1876.
		In the 1890s the party, which had gradually been losing votes as German moved from rural areas to new industrial centers, also opportunistically embraced anti-semitism, but when this failed to halt the party's fall in the polls, this element of the program was de-emphasized.
		The party was dissolved following the fall of the monarchy in 1918, and most of its supporters turned to the new German National People's Party.

	Berlin: The City as Body The City as Metaphor
		Bismarck had not counted on the emergence of new parties such as the Catholic Centre or the Social Democrats, both of whom began participating in imperial and Prussian elections in the early 1870s.

		The conservative parties triumphed and the Social Democratic Party was banned in 1878.

		Fifteen parties of the radical European left met in Rome to found a new continent-wide party on 9 May, and a battle for the organisation's soul quickly ensued.
		The forces represented at the founding congress of the Party of the European Left ranged from the Czech Republic's tiny SDS (Party of Democratic Socialism) to the 70,000-strong German Democratic Socialist Party (PDS) and the 150,000-member French Communist Party.
		And the party's founding statutes rejected the Stalinist and authoritarian political cultures still alive in many communist parties, even though this triggered the departure of the numerically significant Czech Communist Party.

	German Way - Religion - Scientology in Germany
		Articles in the German press put more emphasis on the evils of Scientology and on what they felt were unfair comparisons with Germany in the 1930s.
		In the last several years, various spokespeople for the German government have openly called for either banning Scientology altogether or, at the least, excluding Scientologists from government or party positions.
		(German papers refused to run the ad.) The ad was an open letter to Helmut Kohl that made a direct comparison between the treatment of Scientologists in modern Germany and that of German Jews prior to World War II.

	Online NewsHour: German Election -- September 28, 1998
		It is an old German idea to have the employers and the trade unions at one table with the government and to talk about the problems, so that means tax reform, that means lower the burden on the labor - the labor costs - that means to save Social Security.
		Both parties for 10 years played a primitive blame game that's resulted in Washington gridlock writ large, where the one guy is the more SDP people and the Bundestag said we can't get it done, what we want, because Kohl won't let us.
		This is a party that finally has committed itself to NATO, that committed itself to at least the first stage of NATO enlargement, but it is also a party that has elements in it that are still more suspicious about American leadership, generational change.

		Sometimes parties initiate a policy facelift by changing or repackaging their policies, altering their identity by moving to the left, or getting tough on crime, or embracing family values, or championing nationalism, or stressing some other policy shift.
		The manifesto project data for eight parties in Britain, Germany and the USA were analyzed to determine how much parties changed their emphasis on particular issues in their manifestos between elections held from the 1950s to the 1980s.
		While election defeat is surely not a sufficient cause for party change, and may stop short of being necessary for at least some types and levels of change, this study provides new evidence of an important role for poor electoral performance in explaining when and why parties change.

		Furthermore, a growing Conservative party would force the Republican party to become even more Liberal than it currently is, to retain power by taking votes from among the more Conservative Democrats.
		In the end, America would have a medium-sized Conservative party, a small middle-Right party, and a Democratic party not much smaller than it is now — and stripped of its moderate voters.
		In particular, I think the Republican party (especially in Kansas) is on the verge of a breakdown, with Conservatives entirely fed up with the liberal appeasement policies of the Moderates.

		The question of the continuity of the German antisemitisms of the 19th and 20th centuries is rather more complicated than Goldhagen would allow.
		As elsewhere, those with a specialist knowledge of German history have been overwhelmingly critical, and Goldhagen was justifiably described on the BBC as offering an unconvincing 'new simpliticism'.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: House of Hate by Stephen Brown
		In an irony of ironies, German security authorities recently disclosed that they believe a multicultural house in the southern German city of Neu-Ulm is the center of a radical Islamic network that spans their entire country.
		Ironically, it is probably the Islamists who are the German lib-left’s biggest supporters, since they see in their naïve multicultural tolerance not just the chance to colonize and promote their own intolerance within Europe, but also the opportunity to bring the ‘Holy War’ to European soil.
		The German conservative party appears to share this opinion and has called for the immediate expulsion of 3,000 of the most dangerous Islamists living in Germany, the number alone indicating the seriousness of that country’s security situation.

		The conservatives' attack on Schroeder's plan is seen by some in the leftist-controlled state -- Germany's most populous -- as xenophobic and anti-business.
		Merkel rose from relative obscurity in the former East Germany, where she was the spokesman for the state's first and last elected government, when Kohl tapped her to serve in his Cabinet after German unification in 1990.

		The Greens party, which is the junior partner in the national ruling coalition, tallied between 12.5 and 13 percent.
		BUT, because the votes cast for two of the center-right parties are discarded, the one center-right party that got more than 5 percent, only got 52 percent of the qualifying vote.
