OK, since Germany simply let the parties keep any overhang seats they win, what's stopping the CDU and CSU from simply taking advantage of this and just voting CDU throughout the entire country?
If all CSU voters in Bavaria voted CSU for the individual seats, and then voted CDU on the PR, CSU would obviously not make the threshold and would theoreticlaly be awared no seats, but it'd be allowed to keep all the seats it won individually. Meanwhile the CDU's percentage of the vote would be higher, and it would be allowed to gain more seats. The CSU seats would basically be extra. Yet as CSU receives PR votes, the extra seats become basically meaningless.
