History
As the White Party collapsed during the late 1940s and early 1950s, two parties were formed: the Conservative Party and the Christian Democratic Union. The CDU considered itself the successor of the former party, and attracted the most support out of the two new parties. The party has since captured the presidency and a plurality in the Senate several times. Currently, it is not doing well, and only has two seats in the Senate and eight in the House. The Social Democratic Party, now controlling several powerful government posts, has claimed this is due to a general liberalization of the nation, though CDU members have refuted these claims.
