Bundesrat and other issues

Hallo, I don't know why you are so bent on including this but let me explain my reasoning:

• President of the Bundesrat is not a position independent of being Minister President. The Presidents simply serve in turns, one after the other. Being elected is a mere formality.
• While the President of the Bundesrat serves as a deputy of the Federal President and hence is technically something like Vice President (an office that does not exist), he does not hold any authority or political power in that regard. He merely replaces the President in case of a temporary absence or, in case of premature leaving of office, until the next president is elected.
• I think it in order (though not required) to mention that someone held that post ... in the article but not in the intro.
• I also think it in order to mention it in the intro of the current occupant, in this case Harald Ringstorff.
• I don't think it in order to include prediction that someone will hold that post. a) it is a mere formality, b) we cannot know whether that person, due to be president, will be around at tht time.

As for other issues:

• I do not object to including Filbinger's CDU chairmanship and vice chairmanship (not Vice President of the CDU) in the intro, as long as we can put it in a concise manner. It is covered in detail in the article.
• His particular denomination is not linked to his political stance: he was a Catholic and he also was a conservative politician.
• There is no reason to obscure the fact that the "criticism" refers not to an earlier war but to the Second World War.

I am also putting this on the article's talk page. Please reply there (if you will). Str1977 ^{(smile back)} 09:40, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I want to contact you. There are certain issues that can be better discussed privately. You won't be giving anything away, no one will see your address. Str1977 ^{(smile back)} 09:49, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Very well, done. Basedview22 13:25, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
