There's a special relationship between the CDU and the [[Christian Social Union of Bavaria]] (CSU). The CSU is legally a party of it's own, but cooperates closelly with the CDU. The CDU only exists in the state of [[Bavaria]]. However, the CSU is independent and has it's own political structure and party platform, which differs in some positions from the CDU's one, so that the CSU can be considered more conservative.
