Austrian Elections & Politics - Version 1.0

Why the hell Greens candidate has so huge support?

Tender, can you write what are the relations between Catholic Church and Christliche Partei Österreichs? Their program sounds good on social issues but there is not that much information about them in English (I don't know German, this language is scary) and I wonder what are their program on economy? And  I will really appreciate even just few words about them.

Maybe some day in future they will get more support. Thank you for help.

Is there any geographical/social key to the FPO result (better results in north-west part of the state)?

[Grand Wizard Lizard of the Klan]

But why they have good results in that part of state?

I don't know that throat disease called German language and I don't trust Google Translate

Is really fact that somewhere were concentration camp influencing modern politics, or this is just fun-fact? I ask such things seriously - I don't know much about Austrian politics (I don't even know why).

SPÖ holds Mauthausen, site of the former big Nazi concentration camp.

25% FPÖ (+12%)

Had missed this. Where is MaxQue when we need him?

What? I don't even remember commnting on Mauthausen. I commented than Austria has issues with its past and failed to do proper denazification, painting themselves as victims (which isn't true nor false, it's just not clear-cut all at, with shades).

Overall, the result is in line with my idea. When in the voting booth, some FPÖ voters decided current land government was good and voted ÖVP.

Actually I meant that you were right. The fact that one in four (!) voters in Mauthausen (!) voted for the FPÖ clearly shows that these people didn't learn much from history, and that more denazification efforts were necessary.

How is it?

What do you mean?

It doesn't really take a rocket scientist to see that the FPÖ clearly campaigns with "winks" toward the nazi past, it uses nazi nostalgia in order to win votes. This I find disgusting. "Die Soziale Heimatpartei" basically says "we are nazis". The slogan "Die Menschen, Das Land, Meine Berufung" is also inspired by a quite well-known German tricolon.

But its clearly only cheap way to get additional voters, not real approach and ideas of the party. I am not the fan of FPO: but we must separate political calculations during eletoral campaign from real party views.
