Freedom Party (Austria): Nationalist, anti-immigration, psuedo-fascist. Since Haider left the party I think its become less fascist and more anti-immigration. Haider really made the party into a bad of Nazi lovers though. I would consider the BZO to be the more fascist/neo-Nazi party now.
A good description, but I would say both the Strache-FPÖ (Freedom Party) and the Haider/Westenthaler BZÖ (Alliance for the Future of Austria) are equally far-right. The positive thing is, that after Oct. 1, the BZÖ will probably no longer be in the Austrian Parliament and only be strong in 1 state, but even there the Social Democrats are by far the largest party. You can say that the far right in Austria has a potential of about 15% and currently this percentage is diminishing. The 27% of the (united) FPÖ election result in 1999 resulted basically in the disapproval with the more than 20 year long grand coalition and therefore many blue collar workers (who you can´t count to the far right clientel) voted for the FPÖ then. The FPÖ and BZÖ are indeed very agitating/populist/nationalist parties who are agressiveley anti-foreigners and euro-sceptic. But both party chiefs made clear in this election campaign that nazi-ideology has no place within their parties. But the past and different statements have shown it otherwise. At least i would consider the German NPD by far the more facist party.
