The 2012 Austrian Election Interlude: The rise of Frank Stronach and more ...

[Hans-im-Glück]

Today is also a referendum in the town of Eberau (Burgenland) on the construction of an asylum center. It is expected that 90% of the people there will vote "No".

92% voted "No" on the asylum center (Austria really likes aslyum seekers ... ).

Turnout = 85%

This isn't a surprise. In the most towns in Europe (and not only Europe) you will have the same result, in a election with this question.

The ÖVP has no own candidate. So I can't understand that the ÖVP don't endorse Fischer. Rosenkranz and Gehring are both radical idiots and for a common ÖVP-voter unelectable.

3.  Liste Burgenland  49.6%     
4.  FPÖ 46.7%

What is the "Liste Burgenland" and have they a chance to come into the Parliament?

BREAKING NEWS: There will be a Red-Green coalition in Vienna !



It will be the first Red-Green government in Austria on any level and Maria Vassilakou will become vice-mayor.

It will be announced by SPÖ mayor Michael Häupl in the next hour.

I don't expect this, but this is the right way. It makes no sense to build every time a SPÖVP coalition. Häupl must have problems with this decision. Everything I heard from him shows that he isn't a big fan of Red-Green. But maybe I'm wrong.

That picture makes Strache look like an evil bastard. Seriously, couldn't he try to not look like a horribly corrupt dictator holding his speech at the party congress while being cheered by the delegates?

Maybe Strache looks like a evil bastard, because he is a bevil bastard
