 Head of State - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
A head of state or chief of state is the chief public representative of a nation-state, federation or commonwealth, whose role generally includes personifying the continuity and legitimacy of the state and exercising the political powers, functions and duties granted to the head of state in the country's constitution.
In parliamentary systems the head of state may be merely the nominal chief executive officer of the state, possessing theoretical executive power (hence the description of the United Kingdom monarch's government as Her Majesty's Government, a term indicating that the government is theoretically hers, not parliament's).
A head of state is generally the notional or literal commander-in-chief of a state's armed forces, holding the highest office in all military chains of command.

The German governing coalition of the SPD (Social Democratic Party) and Bündnis 90/the Greens have suffered a devastating defeat in state elections in the German states of the Saarland and Brandenburg.
In the East German state of Sachsen (elections to be held on September 19) the CDU is expected to retain its majority and in Berlin (October 10) any change to the existing CDU-led “Great Coalition” is regarded as unlikely.

 Germany: Political establishment fears rise of Left Party during elections
The Left Party/ PDS is the new name for the PDS (Party for Democratic Socialism – the former East German state party under Stalinism) which has opened its lists to candidates from the relatively newly formed WASG (Election Alternative - Work and Social Justice).
In West Germany, the Left Party stands at around 7% of the vote, which would bring them to a national result of between 8 to 10% and would turn them into the third biggest party, outscoring the Greens and the Liberals, for what is, in reality, the first national test for the WASG.
In the West of the country, deep scepticism towards the predecessor of the “former Stalinist State Party” (as the mainstream media and political parties refer to the Left Party/PDS) remains, and will probably mean that the potential of a new party will not be seized to the full.

 German chancellor's party trounced in 2 state elections
The conservative Christian Democrats won 48 percent of the vote in Lower Saxony, which is Schroeder's home state and the place he served as chief minister for eight years before he became chancellor in 1998.
The party campaigned as the party of peace, echoing Schroeder's successful appeal to German sentiment against a war in Iraq, an appeal credited with giving the Social Democrats a come-from-behind victory in national elections just over four months ago.
The party also engaged in some negative campaigning, which is unusual in Germany, accusing the Christian Democrats of support for foreign use of a local nuclear waste disposal site that would poison the people of Lower Saxony.

 Schroeder party thrashed in German state vote - Sept. 22, 2003
MUNICH - Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's party was headed for a record defeat in elections Sunday in the southern German state of Bavaria, battered by discontent over his failure to spur the economy and curb unemployment.
The Bavaria vote is the latest in a demoralizing series of SPD defeats this year, after they lost power in elections in the northern state of Lower Saxony in February and were soundly beaten in Hesse state.
If the figures are confirmed after all the votes are counted, the CSU would enjoy the first two-thirds majority in a state parliament in post-war Germany, with around 125 of the 180 seats in the Munich parliament.

The western state, Germany's former industrial heartland and a Social Democratic stronghold since 1966, is the last of the 16 regions still run by Schroeder's Social Democrats and the Green party, which together make up the national government.
