All happening today, just watching the end of the election results in Australia!

Tender thanks for all the updates and a question for you, why would Kurz hold off holding the election until Sep/Oct if he collapses the coalition, isn't that a bit risky?

Why not hold the election in late June or is that too tight a timetable under Austrian election law?

Vielen dank,

DC

Too tight.

The Austrian election calendar is ca. 80-90 days long (I would have to look it up) starting the day the parliament is dissolved and a new election is set.

So, the earliest date would be in August, if the parliament decides next week already to hold a new election.

But nobody would ever vote in August or early September because of the summer vacation for students. Only if students are back in school and the parents back home from vacation and that's in mid-September.

What is your personal hope, a continuation with Hofer or new elections?

I basically see any coalition breakdown only resulting in a new "emasculated" Kurz without all the good immigration/benefit cuts in favour of citizens/longtime residents, which I personally hold very dear to my heart (even though I'm a relatively new immigrant lol).

Thanks Tender yes that makes sense - I bet he wishes it was Denmark where you can have a 3 week campaign!

What's your gut feel, will Kurz collapse the coalition and go for new elections or will he just have new FPO ministers and keep black-blue (or turquoise-blue?!) going?

Is OVP + Greens/Neos a realistic outcome of a Sep/Oct election?

Many thanks again,

I wouldn't mind both a continuation of ÖVP-FPÖ under Hofer (because of their good work on immigration), but only under the terms I have previously posted - nor would I mind new elections in the fall (there is only the Vorarlberg state election this fall, an easy ÖVP-win) and later a new ÖVP-NEOS-(Green) government.

A) after all, he will go for new elections after being convinced by the state Governors etc. that it is the best option for the ÖVP.

B) yes, it is realistic.

Meanwhile, with the Strache and Gudenus resignations today, Veronika Matiasek will become the new Vienna-leader of the FPÖ (state elections there are planned for next year, but the SPÖ there could take advantage of the situation as well and call early elections. After all, nobody knows that new FPÖ-woman and the FPÖ will start from scratch) ...

Reports are that Kurz's press statement (now long overdue) is being pushed back further and further because FPÖ-Interior Minister Kickl is refusing to resign as well, as Kurz wants (to start over with the "new" FPÖ).

If Kickl refuses to resign in the coming hours, new elections are more and more likely. At some point Kurz will lose patience with Kickl I guess.

The FPÖ-scandal villa on Ibiza has been found on AirBnB.

I guess leftists all over Europe will see it as their new Mecca, but the price is 1.067€ per night !



Here, you can clearly see the cocaine lines on the table:

New FPO? I thought Strache was the new FPO. Somehow they keep snaking their way into government and embarrassing Austria. It's amazing that Kurtz would try to keep this clown car on the road.

U kurcu, as they say in some countries that used to be part of Austria.

Isn't a coalition partner that can be blackmailed at any moment exactly what Kurz prefers?

It's one case, and those kind of #gates and all are not entirely a far-right phenomen. Centrists can do the same, i mean, and you'll find corrupt and fake politicians in every layer, and on every side of the political spectrum. It's sad, but it's the task to cleanse the world from those swamps as much as possible, at a continuous and rapid rate.

As Tender said, Greens Neos and Kurz is most likely.

What kind of people are they? Do you believe Europe's mainstream parties are beacons of integrity? At least here in Germany there is a revolving door between parliament and various companies/lobbying groups.

Fully agree.

Not long ago, the SPÖ was caught employing a "dirty campaign architect", who was later arrested and charged with multiple offences, so not much better.
