Voters in the southern German state of Bavaria go to the polls on Sunday in a regional election that could shake the fragile coalition of Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin.
The Christian Social Union (CSU) -- a conservative sister party to Merkel's Christian Democrat Union (CDU) -- has dominated Bavarian politics for almost seven decades. Apart from a three-year period in the 1950s, the party has continuously governed the state since 1949. At this election, however, the CSU could lose votes to the anti-immigration, far-right Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) party and to the left-wing, environmentalist Greens.

I’m not sure I understand the use of “Christian” here. Is it a German idiom?
Best of luck in taking back your country. I’ve watched some of Alice Weidel’s speeches on youtube and she seems very impressive. Merkel is a globalist through and through and has been a disaster for Germany.
Whatever cnn calls “far right” is actually the most sensible party there is.
Merkel, the spawn of Hitler has been on the verge of being voted out before. Germans have got somekind mental health issue over their past that causes them to believe they deserve this abuse from the globalist migrant invasion. Snap out of it!
Merkel should have been shown the door years ago. She has destroyed Germany and the EU.
Hey you, Bavarians — a vote for Merkel is a vote against Oktoberfest.
Merkel = Hitler on steroids.
Whatever cnn calls far right is actually the most sensible party there is.
Yes. My grandparents (typical, middle-class, patriotic, straight, legal immigrant, Christian, law-abiding, married-for-life family folk) would be labeled far-right by CNN & MSM.
As opposed to Merkel's "Silly Party".
My handy-dandy Newspeak media translation guide for political ideology labels:
Media labels vs. Reality:
Blue = Red
Socialist = Stalinist
Liberal = Marxist
Moderate = Socialist
Conservative = Liberal
Far-Right = Moderate
Ultraright/Racist/Bigot = Conservative Mainstream
