The adoption of central elements of the South German council constitution in North Rhine-Westphalia does not have the same effects as in southern state of Baden-Württemberg, since the starting situation in NRW, the political culture, the specific institutional arrangements, and actor interests all differ.
In larger cities with a South German council constitution, however, these effects of party politicisation are weakened by certain provisions of the municipal constitution (direct election of the chief executive officer, committee chairmanship for the mayor, the possibility of vote accumulation and splitting, greater mayoral personnel powers).
The number of voters' associations has also increased from 188 to 276.(27) The greater range of parties is a key factor in explaining differences between federal, state, and local elections, and thus contributes to intensifying competition.
