Like it or not, the far right is heading for Germany’s Bundestag

Yup.

Although in an amusing example of needing to be careful with assuming that the names of party’s have anything much to do with their policies, the CSU is the Christian Social Union and is by far more conservative than the already rather conservative, Christian Democratic Union.

The CDU and CSU are in a more or less permanent coalition under which the CSU promises not to stand anywhere but Bavaria and the CDU promises not to stand in Bavaria.
