2) In Bavaria, the Left Party dithers permanently on the verge of the 5% limit. Erwin Huber, the leader of the Christian Socialists (CSU), the Bavarian sister of the CDU, announced a "crusade" against the Left Party entering the Bavarian regional parliament (elections on 28 September)! He used the standard centre-right tactic I was sooo disgusted with back in the Kohl era two decades ago, equating the hard left with the far-right (the extremist parties of the Republicans, DVU and NPD). However, given the SPD's voes, in polls the CSU still looks to barely retain its absolute majority. *Traitor*, n.
