Politics of Lower Saxony

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lower Saxony State Parliament ("Landtag") in Hannover

The Politics of Lower Saxony takes place within a framework of a federal parliamentary representative democratic republic, where the Federal Government of Germany exercises sovereign rights with certain powers reserved to the states of Germany including Lower Saxony. Since 1948 politics in the state has been dominated by the rightist Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the leftist Social Democratic Party. Lower Saxony was one of the origins of the German environmentalist movement in reaction to the state government's support for underground nuclear waste disposal. This led to the formation of the German Green Party in 1980.

Transcription

I’ve been asked to pronounce the names of all sixteen German states, which is a little bit tricky because, of course, German is not my first language. But, nevertheless, I will go ahead and start with thirteen states that are called “area states”. There are also two city states, and they are: This leaves one more state, which is usually classed as a city state, but in fact consists of two cities. It is: This state is made up of the cities of Bremen itself and Bremerhaven. Hamburg and Bremen are both Hanseatic cities, which explains why their abbreviations are HH and HB respectively. Also, Bayern, Sachsen and Thüringen all describe themselves as “Free States”, although that has absolutely no constitutional significance at all. The abbreviation for Niedersachsen is NI, and not, as you might expect, NS. This is because NS stands for “nationalsozialistisch”, which is better known as “nazi”. Similarly, Sachsen-Anhalt is ST, because SA stands for “Sturmabteilung”, which was the paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party. That’s it; and if this information is of any use to you, have fun with it. Thank you for watching, and I hope you enjoyed this video. If you did, then be sure to subscribe for more. Also, why not follow my Google+ page for some behind-the-scenes chit-chat and some other goodies as well?

Election results

In the most recent state election in 2013, the ruling Christian Democratic Union (CDU) held on to its position as the leading party in the state, despite losing votes and seats. The CDU's coalition with the Free Democratic Party (FDP) however lost its majority to a coalition of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) and the Party Alliance 90/The Greens (The Greens). They have since ruled in a coalition with a one-vote majority.[1]

The election saw the exit out of the state parliament of the leftist The Left party, which had gained representation for the first time in 2008.
