    At 28% they won the most votes for a party but as the other parties that one 72% of the votes don’t like them, they didn’t win the election. That’s democracy.

      That’s what they say, but here in Sweden the the rest of the right wing parties flipped and joined with the far right post election, the only ones surprised were the voters on that block. fucking idiots. But as a consequence, for the first time in history, the capital’s traditionally dominant local bourgeois voters has now finally flipped left - unfortunately the rest of the south are leaning in harder on the far right (as could be expected).

      Yeah, but the People’s Party (ÖVP) which was kind of centrist (liberal economy, socially conservative) is moving more and more to the right side of the spectrum. They have been in the government for decades and are more organized and connected. In my eyes they are a greater danger to society than the right-wing FPÖ.

      Together they have the majority, and I don’t trust the head of ÖVP (Nehammer) in his promise not to team up with Kickl (FPÖ head).
