Austrian legislative election, 2017

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Currently undecided between the Social Democrats (SPÖ) and the liberal NEOS (60% vs. 40%).

Probably throwing a dice before the election ...

Voted for SPÖ in this poll, for now ...

I swear you've flipped between every single party Tender.

Kern seems dependable, even if he is on the right of his party. The OVP leader seems like a budding autocrat in training, the FPO is the FPO, NEOS are too liberal for me and the Greens probably too wooly. Tbh if the KPOs front group had a chance of passing the theshold, I'd be tempted to vote for them to add a little political diversity.

Why would anyone of a liveral/centrist bent favour OVP over SPO this time round?

I just realized this was directed at me, probably. I don't really, but Kurz is the best shot at reforming the ÖVP.

In the same way that Erdogan "reformed" Turkey.

SPÖ, but if the Greens or the breakaway Greens are hovering near the threshold on election day I'd strategically support them.

Preferred coalitions:
1) SPÖ-Greens-NEOS
2) SPÖ-FPÖ (my anti-Kurz reflex compels me to rank this above 3) )
3) SPÖ-ÖVP (only if SPÖ would get the chancellorship)

SPÖ-Greens-NEOS is hardly possible here. 45% is about the highest they can get.

And if Pilz runs his own left-populist "Transparency Citizen Movement", there would also be other coalition options.

Could it be possible after a potentially controversial/disliked FPOVP coalition?
