Deeply saddening to see another of the historical social democratic European parties slowly crumble to pieces, but obviously SPÖ deserves most of the blame for its own demise. At least the combined left vote is a little higher than 2017, thanks to the Green surge. And FPÖ has been set back for a few years (though I'm sure they'll slowly creep their way up again, there's no stopping these forces long-term it seems).
I can't believe Kurz genuinely expected to form another government with FPÖ after he brought the previous one down. This is like Salvini trying to patch things up with Di Maio after he saw that his attempt to f**k him over had backfired big time. This degree of shamelessness never ceases to amaze.
If ÖVP-Greens or ÖVP-Greens-NEOS is where things end up, I hope he'll be forced to reverse course on at least some of his vilest policies. Though I won't count on it.
