Clemens Jabloner (another judge, law professor and good friend of Bierlein) will become Vice-Chancellor and Minister for Justice, while Alexander Schallenberg - a top official in the Foreign Ministry - will become Foreign Minister.

Van der Bellen apparently wanted to be the one who appoints the first woman Chancellor, while at the some time avoiding accusations of being not impartial by ultimately going for someome who's known for being somewhat  close to the ÖVP/FPÖ.

Correct.

Bierlein comes from a conservative background, but as Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court has also had quite moderate positions on gay marriage, asylum, welfare payments etc.

I think she’s OK for the next couple months, even though I was hoping for a younger female Chancellor, such as Christine Haberlander.

September 29 looks like the date for the early election.

This is what both SPÖ and FPÖ want (the later, the better for them) and they have a majority in parliament.

The ÖVP (they want to vote as early as possible, on September 1/8/15) is furious, saying that SPÖ & FPÖ are already preparing a secret coalition.

  An SPO FPO coalition.  That  would be intresting to see.  In this fantasy scenario of mine Hofer helps clean up the FPO image and brand, and the SPO comes close to the FPO in the asylum immigration side of things, and the FPO comes closer to the SPO on taxation, government spending etc. Burgenland goes national.

Not going to happen.

A) the SPÖ doesn't want it.

B) they will not have a majority this time.

Most Austrians prefer a threesome after the election:

ATV/Unique Research poll about coalition preferences

25% ÖVP-Greens-NEOS
21% ÖVP-FPÖ
19% SPÖ-Greens-NEOS
  7% ÖVP-SPÖ
  5% SPÖ-FPÖ

De-facto none.

But both are close to the ÖVP, so is the new Foreign Minister Schallenberg.

Jabloner is closer to the SPÖ.

For their previous roles, see above. Rauskala is a top official in the Education Ministry.

The technocrat cabinet of Chancellor Brigitte Bierlein will be smaller than the original ÖVP-FPÖ government, probably just 12 members instead of 16.

4 are already named, 8 or so to go.

The posts of Strache and Blümel and the 2 state secretaries will not be re-staffed, but merged with other ministries for the next months.

The coming 4 months also offer a rare window of Swiss-style multipartisanship, where such things as tougher campaign finance laws and oversight could be passed.

If those were the election results we could see an OVP/NEOS coalition and the FPO could be discarded. It would be like an Austrian version of a standard issue CDU/FDP coalition. Someone enlighten me as to whether ist fair to describe NEOS as basically an Austrian version of the FDP

I believe NEOS is more openly pro-EU (not that FDP is anti-EU in the slightest, but iirc NEOS openly wants the "united states of Europe") and more left wing overall? (both economically and socially)

Yeah that's the impression I have too. FDP seem to be a more classical liberal party like Venstre, VVD or MR while NEOS seem to be a more social-liberal party à la D66.

I don’t think these are the eventual election results, because I think that the roles of NEOS and Greens will be reversed in the end.

The Greens are benefitting from the current climate change movement of Greta Thunberg (she was in Vienna yesterday for her strike), while there are some who are flirting with NEOS in the polls right now, but who will end up voting ÖVP in the voting booth.

A new Research Affairs poll for Ö24 confirms the DEMOX poll above, with the FPÖ and SPÖ crashing and burning:



2/3 people think the sacking of Kurz by SPÖ-FPÖ was wrong and more than 70% say it hurt our reputation abroad.

Elisabeth Udolf to become new Minister for the Economy:

So far, there's gender parity in the new cabinet: 3 women and 3 men.

Additional names have been more or less confirmed today:

* Social Minister: Brigitte Zarfl (SPÖ-affiliated)
* Women, Families & Youth Minister: Ines Stilling (SPÖ-affiliated)
* Finance Minister: Eduard Müller (ÖVP-affiliated)
* Transport & Infrastructure Minister: Hartwig Hufnagl (FPÖ-affiliated)

Eckart Ratz (ÖVP-affiliated and appointed by Kurz himself) is likely to remain as Interior Minister.

That means only a Defense- and Agriculture Minister are left to choose.
