2009 State and European Parliament Elections in Austria

[Franzl]

I took the one for Salzburg....I'll do the other one at some point.

ÖVP: +105
FPÖ: +35
BZÖ: +20
SPÖ: -25
Grüne: -80

Latest federal Profil/OGM poll:

SPÖ: 32%
ÖVP: 30%
FPÖ: 21%
Greens: 9%
BZÖ: 7%
Others: 1%

That's pretty damn depressing, for several reasons.

[Franzl]

I support the first one.

And I don't completely oppose the second one....but I'm not too big a fan.

I support the status quo, that you can choose between the subjects. I oppose the second one.

There's also another question that was asked by OGM that I´ve just found:

Do you think Homosexuality is curable ?

85% No
10% Yes
5% Undecided

I'm actually somewhat surprised. I would have believed maybe 70% NO in Austria.

[Franzl]

My sympathy, Tender, that you have such an awful state in Austria

Seems kind of like our Alabama.

Interesting Exit Poll about first-time-voters in Salzburg (age 16-23):

30% FPÖ
17% SPÖ
4% BZÖ
1% ÖVP and Greens
48% Non-Voters

Which means, of those who went to the polls, 65% voted for FPÖ+BZÖ ...

In other words....the right-wing isn't going away soon.

[Franzl]

Is it just me, or is it pretty damn frightening to see the ÖVP under the FPÖ?...

[Franzl]

Austria is pretty f**ked....frankly. Those numbers scare me.

[Franzl]

Those numbers are pretty good.

[Franzl]

Good results.

Good that the conservatives are so strong and that the FPÖ is slightly worse than expected.
