Which German Party would you fit into best?

[Хahar 🤔]

FDP, I suppose. Not sure though, Lewis, help me out.

Really? The CDU/CSU is the ideological counterpart of the ÖVP.

I know 0% about German parties. That's why I asked Lewis for help.

It's not that different from Austrian politics, actually. The FDP is the equivalent of what the FPÖ used to be (before they went far-right). The CDU//CSU is the counterpart to the ÖVP, as I mentioned. The Greens are the Greens, of course, and the SPD likewise corresponds to the SPÖ. Die Linke is a more mainstream version of the KPÖ.

It's more complicated. Although most of the complication can be traced to Austria being monolithically Catholic, I suppose.

And the lack of a partition after 1955, I assume.

That can be traced to Austria being monolithically Catholic - in that Austria's existence as a country independent from a unified Germany can be.

Württemberg is also monolithically Catholic. Hasn't Austria's independence got more to do with the fact that its rulers also had tons of other territory?

[minionofmidas]

Würtemberg is icon of south German protestantism.

Indeed. That is, old Württemberg. The areas added in the Napoleonic era are majority Catholic. Modern Württemberg (before church membership started breaking down. And before even more people started moving to other regions, which makes everywhere looks like that) is very much the model case of a mosaic of small Catholic enclaves, small Protestant enclaves, and wholly mixed areas, with close confessional balance when summed.

I need to get my states straight.

From superficial knowledge, the FDP seems like one of the few parties I'd be actually inclined to register with. Probably too good to be true, but it's nice to see a party even trying to live up to classical "liberal" standards.
