	Politics of Germany information - Search.com
		Politics of Germany takes place in a framework of a federal parliamentary representative democratic republic, whereby the Federal Chancellor is the head of government, and of a pluriform multi-party system.
		The political systems of the individual states are prescribed by state constitutions, but resemble that of the federal level to a certain extent.
		This rule, often called the "five percent hurdle", was incorporated into Germany's Election law to prevent political fragmentation and strong minor parties, which was considered a major reason for the inefficacy of the Weimar Republic's Reichstag.

		The political systems of the individual states are prescribed by state constitutions, but resemble that of the federal level to a certain extent.
		This rule, often called the "five percent hurdle", is part of the constitution to prevent political fragmentation and strong minor parties, as this was considered a major reason for the inefficacy of the Weimar Republic's Reichstag.
		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.

	II Journal: Immigration and politics in Germany
		For me it’s quite clear that the slogan that “Germany is not a Melting Pot” (Einwanderungsland) has been revealed as the Lie of the Republic, but to counteract this we have not yet formulated an appropriate response or decided what should replace it.
		It is essentially a political party made up of two different parties: on the one hand, you have those who want to keep the status quo and who support the ultra-conservatives, and on the other hand you have the modern wing of the Party, focused around Heiner Geissler.
		The image of Germany became somewhat contradictory: on the one hand, there were almost daily reports of burning refugee camps and racist violence against immigrants, and the election results of right-wing parties reached an all-time high.

	American Politics Journal -- Germany In 1933: The Easy Slide Into Fascism
		The parallels are not exact, of course; America in 2003 and Germany seventy years earlier are not the same, and Bush certainly is not Adolf Hitler.
		None but Germany has undergone the fantastic, grotesque extreme of all of these together; none has experienced the gigantic, carnival dance of death, the unending, bloody Saturnalia, in which not only money but all standards lost their value.
		In short, what should have been a strong political and moral opposition movement to Hitlerian policies, meekly acceded to the destruction of their country's institutions of law and social harmony.

	Germany - Government and Politics
		The document explained how the political structures and policies of West Germany would be extended to the east, how other institutions--such as the education system--would be coordinated, and which issues would be resolved later--for instance, abortion policy.
		In the decades since 1949, West Germany's parties have tended toward the middle of the political spectrum, largely because both the historical experience with fascism and the existence of communist East Germany greatly diminished the appeal of either extreme.
		This reigning political consensus, challenged briefly in the late 1960s by the student protest movement and in the early 1980s by economic recession, has led many observers to judge the "Bonn model" a success.

	Politics Germany
		The CDU was established to bring "a non-denominational Christian party to shape Germany's future." While the CDU is solidly conservative on social issues, the party is noticeably divided on fiscal issues, with many in the party espousing neo-socialistic economic values, and another large faction that is more fiscally conservative.
		This centre-of-the-left position on the political spectrum allowed the SPD to form a coalition with the Greens in 1993, a coalition that the SPD leads.
		While the PDS remains relatively popular in the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany), garnering 10% of the east German vote, the PDS has a precious few supporters in other parts of the country, and their 1990 election percentage was below the 5% hurdle, making the PDS ineligible to enter Parliament.

	Politics in Germany--Update
		Germany was wracked, as well, by a series of strikes in mining and other traditional Òblue collarÓ industries where workers and owners alike are worried about cuts in state subsidies and social service programs.
		It is now also clear that Germany will have a very hard time meeting one of the criteria for joining the single currency, a deficit of 3.0% of GNP or less.
		Until summer 1997, Germany had taken a hard line with other EU countries, arguing that no tinkering with the national books or other ÒfudgesÓ would be allowed to ÒhelpÓ them qualify.

	BBC NEWS \| UK \| Politics \| 'Germany needs a Thatcher'
		Germany's recent economic problems have prompted much soul searching - and helped make a bestseller of a book suggesting that a Frau Thatcher may now be the answer.
		Labour MP Gisela Stuart - who was born in Germany - said that when she arrived in Britain it was the era of the three-day week and there were arguments then about the way forward.
		"Where I think Germany will find it more difficult than Britain in the 1970s is that Germany starts with a long period of economic prosperity and it may well have to get worse in Germany before there's a recognition in the population that change is needed," she said.

		An empire in name, Germany was actually administered by its chancellor Otto von Bismarck, a landed aristocrat (or, Junker) from east Prussia.
		In 1871, Germany was a new nation; by 1890, Germany was arguably the strongest power on the Continent.
		These three elements, domestic political concerns, a historical context that seemed to assure victory, and a perceived need to justify its power, combined to propel Germany into a an aggressive and risky foreign policy, both within Europe and the colonial world.
