    German coalition talks miss deadline; parties still at odds

    https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-ge...-idUKKBN1DH0FR

    "The chancellor is under pressure from her own conservative bloc, particularly the Bavarian CSU sister party, to hold the line on key issues in the talks, especially on migration after the influx of over 1 million migrants over the past two years.

    The CSU, worried about losing further ground in a 2018 state election, is pushing for migrant caps and more orderly immigration."


    B-b-b-but it's racist to want to control immigration isn't it?
    Xenophobic?

    Come on remainers - what is the correct label for the CSU (and therefore Merkel's conservatives in general too)?


    Side-note: Does this mean that if there's a new government, that the agreed EU Brexit negotiating position needs to be re-confirmed by Germany?
