"It is a danger to democracy," Mr. Maget said in a brief interview after his last formal campaign speech. "Democracy depends on a power balance. It may sound defensive to talk about this two-thirds majority, but we have to warn people."

I don´t think so. In Bavaria, a 2/3 majority cannot change the constitution - a vote of the people is required for that.

Ok, there are other things the CSU can decide on their own (e.g. to ban the public out of the parliament and even investigation committees), but we´re still democrats and respect the opinions of others. It´s typical the Left: reproaching US with anti-democratic attitude just because THEY´re near zero sympathy in the state!

and did you notice how little news about Schro's loss?

As you can see many os us know and love Bavaria,

but it turns out I rather appreciate the manners and culture of the North too.
