As Austria and Prussia escaped the French 'exporting the revolution', and Napoleon was happy to maintain satellite monarchies in most German territories under his control (members of the Confederation of the Rhine), the more democratic principles of the Enlightenment would have less effect in the German-speaking lands, or only much later.

Bavaria's last Landtagswahl, in 1998, came just a week before the federal election that almost everyone knew would bring an end to Helmut Kohl's sixteen years as chancellor.
Finally, the CSU's very success in identifying itself so closely with Bavaria both benefited from and further deepened the misery of its opponents: the Freistaat's already flailing SPD, burdened by Schröder's slumping popularity and hardly helped by a lackluster candidate, was reduced to lamely warning that voters should not give any party a two-thirds majority.
Bavaria's eclectic none-of-the above party, the Union of Free Voters, won 4% - a success that in past years might have discomfited the CSU by making its right flank appear vulnerable, yet this time barely drew a headline.

In the Bavarian regional elections of September 13 the Christian Social Union (CSU) was able to maintain its substantial majority in Bavaria.
Despite all the prognoses, its 52.9% win not only allowed the CSU to maintain its superiority in the Landtag but actually to increase its number of seats in the 204-member assembly from 120 to 123.
The clear indication is that the 13% gained by the German nationalist DVU in the last Land elections in Sachsen-Anhalt were a one-off, not a trend.
