Austrian legislative election, 2017

I'd go for:

1. Team Stronach
2. ÖVP or FPÖ
3. NEÖS

Why would you vote for the FDP in Germany and only rank NEOS as your 3rd choice in Austria ?

NEOS is the Austrian counterpart of the FDP. If Austria were a German state, FDP = NEOS on the ballot.

I'm a little weird internationally sometimes.

I prefer Team Stronach since it seems to be pro-electoral reform and a lot like other liberal parties + Euroscepticism (please correct me if I'm wrong). I like ÖVP over CDU/CSU mainly since Kurz seems to be a little better than Merkel. Lindner in Germany is taking a more reasonable approach imo on some issues that Merkel isn't. While I consider myself a European liberal, I lean on the right, so I like Kurz. Tbh, I don't know much about NEÖS except that it is a European liberal party.

Team Stronach is basically dead, nobody's going to vote for them or their successor.

I can still dream

Why do you support electoral reform in Austria?

Only in small areas, like the primary elections that TS supports. I think that can be a good idea.

Yeah, as DavidB said ...

Supporting a party that will have problems breaking the 0.5% in October is very bizarre.

I guess that's more of a "vote your own conscience" vote. We don't get too many options here to vote for someone who is exactly the same as us

Greens. Van der Bellen will need a sizable majority.

He'll also need to develop good working relationship with the Austrian Emperor.

And the king of Hungary.

Is KPÖ more mainstream or something? If not, I'm seeing some Atlas people in a whole new lght

Funny that nobody voted for the TS so far, it looks like everyone knew they are politically bankrupt. And they OFFICIALLY are since yesterday.

Lol I meant to, but I voted for other by accident.

I probably would vote for ÖVP this time around.
