Austrian Elections & Politics 5.0 (Burgenland state election - January 26)

[crals]

If there is no OVP-NEOS majority what is the most likely coalition? Any chance NOW run together with the Greens?

[crals]

Why is the SPOe doing so poorly in polls even? Is Rendi-Wagner an ineffective leader?

Tonight @ 6.30pm, the 1st big TV debate involving all major candidates (Kurz, PRW, Hofer, Kogler, Meinl-Reisinger, Pilz) will take place on ORF III:

Why Pilz instead of the actual party leader?

[crals]

What are Pilz's chances of making it again?

Could Bierlein stay on if Kurz can't form a coalition?

The „Kurier“ reports that Strache wants to create his own party, called F.P.Ö.

Frauen Partei Österreichs (Women’s Party of Austria)

Is this some kind of joke or?

It's satire.

How disappointing

[crals]

Maintaining a tough line on migration and crime in exchange for green policies is fair. Hope the Greens will agree to that.

  Tender, what is the perception of the new interior minister, Karl Nehammer? 
   Also, if in fact the new coalition continues, more or less, the previous immigration policies of the OVP FPO government, that shows quite a bit of ideological flexibility on the part of the Greens, and quite a bit of pragmatism, in that they show that as long as they get some serious gains on the environment, they can give up ground on their pro-multicultural, pro more immigration policies.
   I think long term that would be a good model for other Green parties in Europe to look toward.

Yes, I'm glad they decided not to die on that hill and focus on their environmental priorities. Being kicked out of the parliament seems to have done the Austrian Greens a world of good.
