I'd just like to say that I appreciate the effort you put into your AARs, they're some of my favorites in the entire forum.
This is basically my reasoning too. Also Bismarck!Once again, my two favorite parties are DKRP and Zentrum. I like more social reforms and alliances with major powers, but I also like bigger German military and standing up to the Mediterranean Bloc.
I vote DKRP (shock and awe!) because I feel a bigger DKRP will be able to push either of the bigger blocs (Liberals/Center) to being more conservative in governing. And well, tradition.
Shhhh! Of course he is! >:IBismarck is no longer running
But in our hearts, he still is.Bismarck is no longer running
Some may argue that tradition is a good thing, and you haven't even mentioned your own party's standing.Support the DZP! The Liberals have betrayed their electorate, the DKRP stand for nothing but tradition. Support the DZP!

I'm surprised by the low standings of the socialists. I supposed they saw by now that their party's far too isolated to win any serious role in the government and now defect to the DZP, which is a second-choice party for a lot of people and so wins the electorial support.

That's because the DZP is flawless.
Yes, flawless at everything except economic management, foreign policy, domestic policy, defence...
Oh, don't get me wrong, I know the Centre's values appeal to a large demographic of Germans by themselves and I mean no offense. I was merely noting the fact that in face of the other parties' various swings and missteps many see the Zentrum as the alternative, and that means a lot of different things for different people and regions. I myself am example of someone who supports Zentrum quite often because of unescapable disagreements in short-term policies of the Liberals despite identifying more with Liberal values in general.That's a little offensive to Zentrum supporters IMO. It's quite an obvious fact that based on the last few elections the Zentrumpartei is the first-choice party for a good deal many voters.
Flawless I say! Flawless!
If by tradition you mean negligible social programs and reform if any and power that remains with just the Prussians...
A conservative relativist?Some might think that is a good idea. It is all relative, after all.
