Sad Day for Europe, Europe Needs Big Change even if it can be harsh. And that original comment was out of line.

   This might not be too bad for the FPO, as they can stay fully in opposition until the NR vote, and I think the recent asylum law changes was about as much as they could pressure the current parliament to put through, with or without Hofer as president.  The big drama will be if they do win a big victory in the parliamentary election and VDB refuses to swear in a FPO chancellor (though IIRC he did say he wouldn't rule out Strache as vice-chancellor in the last debate).

It's only the second ecologist Chief of State in the EU, probably one of the very very few in the whole world, and the first was a pro-Russian Latvian elected by 55 MPs out of 100, whereas Van der Bellen wins a relatively high turnout popular vote, even if barely. Why is that not a big change ? Change is only change towards fascism ?

Salzburg State's postal vote was 60-40 VdB.

Including mine.

Turnout was 73% here.

That was close! Danger has most definitely not been averted IMO. If voters perceive conditions to get worse, I can only imagine the parliamentary election in two years. It will not be pretty.

Am I right that probably the only way the FPO could be in government would be if they took an absolute majority in the next national elections - since no other party will work with them?...and the chances of that happening are just about nil.

Well, congratulations to Cranberry and Tender. As much as I dislike VdB, I don't live in Austria and I don't experience any consequences of this whatsoever; by contrast, I imagine it must have been terrible for you guys (though more so for Cranberry...) if Hofer had won.

And now please tell VdB that he should give passports to the people who fled Austria during WWII, and to their descendants.

Well, let me say this you people deserve these refugees.

Yes, yes, it's so sad that a far-right populist/person with possible fascist ties lost to a seemingly reasonable and sane candidate. Y'all are sore losers.

the fact that a fascist almost won is a bit concerning. Luckily sanity prevailed at the end of the day.

I guess you would like to vote for his re-election in 2022? Tongue

Guys I can't describe how happy I am right now. Even if it's just a relatively small victory, it still is the first time since, idk what, 2002 or whatever, that the FPÖ has really, truly, been f-ing defeated. It's so great.

Also, you all should really be able to read Austrian dialect - Facebook at the moment is hilarious Tongue

Btw it's kind of odd that news was warning Hofer would be the first nasty fascist to come to power since the war. I mean have they forgotten the time Austrians elected a literal nazi war criminal as president lol?

Tirol switched with postal votes to 51,4 VdB; as did OÖ to 51,2. Vienna, Linz, Innsbruck up at 63% VdB, Graz even at 64%.

Eisenstadt (capital of the Burgenland) switched to VdB as well, this means he won every single one of the nine state capitals, while winning four of nine states in total.
