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

[Double Carpet]

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,

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,

DC

So it's an exit poll not a partial vote count as in France?

Tender thanks for all the updates!

If those numbers hold, what's your current best guess for the new coalition?

Question for everyone, is Austria 2019 the best Green performance in any top-level national parliamentary election anywhere?

Ie excluding presidential elections (eg VdB) and also Euro-elections.

I think the only other countries in contention might be Germany and Australia?

Thanks
