	politics of germany - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		The Federal Republic of Germany (in German: Bundesrepublik Deutschland) is a federal representative democracy.
		Due to the German election rules, the ruling CDU in Saxony was forced (due to their losses at the ballots) to form a coalition with the 9,8 % party SPD as a junior partner, which has even topped its worst result (elections in 1999: 10,2 %).
		The latest state elections in the eastern region of Germany showed that not only the governing Social Democrats were losing the support of the voters, but even the conservatives: in the fall of 2004 the voters in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) chose their local parliaments and mayors.

	Germany - The Greens
