Just a question regarding both the national level and in Vienna, would a SPO-Grune-Neos coalition work as a possible alternative to team Proporz or having the FPO in government?

Even with today's crappy numbers for the SPÖ, there would still be another SPÖ-Green government possible in Vienna (49% vs. 47%).

And because Vienna has an election system which favors the strongest party, even more so (note how the SPÖ got 44% in the 2010 state election, but got 49/100 seats).

Which means NEOS would not be needed as a 3rd coalition partner.

On the federal level, SPÖ+Greens+NEOS is currently impossible because Black-Blue has a solid majority in all polls.

I don't know really what you mean with Proporz, because neither on the federal level nor in Vienna there is any Proporz. This remains only in Upper- and Lower Austria and Carinthia.

Thanks. In regards to 'team Proporz' I meant the continuity SPO-OVP coalition at the federal level.

It's not clear what a country like Austria can do - especially considering its EU commitments in the areas of freedom of movements. Is Austria part of Schengen?

Personally the most pragmatic solution is obvious - let them in, across Europe.
