Parliamentary seats are grouped into Fraktionen, and the size of a Fraktion depends on how many constituency and list votes a party wins in federal elections. At present, the CDU/CSU union forms the largest Fraktion, and the AfD holds the second-largest number of seats, making them the two biggest groups in the Bundestag.
