If one looks at Bavarian history, it’s always been very Catholic and very Conservative....apart from the crazy bit in the 1920s when the Communists took over and declared it a Communist Republic.

Since 1946, the CSU have only lost their majority once, that was in 2008.

Sporadically in bits of Bavaria, the SPD and the Greens have some support, but it’s minimal compared to the large support for the CSU. Horst Seehofer is exceptionally popular, as is Ilse Aigner, Markus Söder and Hans-Peter Friedrich.

A few years ago Hans-Peter Friedrich said that Islam in Germany is not something supported by history at any point.

I believe that the majority of Germans would agree with him, except the Berlin area, which isn’t really representative of Germany and never has been.
