Economic union is a misleading link, probably the result of a mistranslation. Actually meant is the "Wirtschaftliche Vereinigung" ( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirtschaftliche_Vereinigung_%28Deutsches_Kaiserreich%29 ), which would be better translated as "commercial association". The WV was a common parliamentary group of different antisemitic and peasent partys. It's members favored protectionism, agriculture and craftsmen and opposed free trade and capitalism. Because it was only a parliamentary group (e.g. some members of the Farmers' League belonged to it, others did not), it should not be used as a term in an election content, but split in Antisemitic (2,5%) and Peasant Partys (1,9%). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hilarus von Baerenstein (talkcontribs) 11:29, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A continuation of this; I have reverted to the original name, as both English language sources I have for the party name it the "Economic Union". Number 57 23:33, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Colors of parties

[edit]

Why are some people always changing the colors of the parties like the NLP? Sometimes it is blue, then orange (at least of the DVP, the successor party, during the weimar elections) and now it is green. And the picture of the seats and their respective party colours is also wrong and has to be updated. the NLP still has the green color and some other parties also have another in the list below of the picture of the reichstag seats. This can confuse people Moctezuma1466 (talk) 13:41, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
