      Ignoring normal people’s concerns for responsible immigration reforms.

      Russians pounding social media with logical fallacies unchecked isn’t helping any nation.

      cool, congratulations to the austrians on a good choice

    4. myassislazy on

      I really can’t understand how can they not see that FPÖ are liars and corrupt and they are total Russian asset

      A 10 year chain of catastrophic decisions and mandates by most other parties

      “How did it get there?”

      Years of politics promising a lot and delivering only degrading quality of life. That’s what happened. Leftist policies look glimmering, but don’t work, and people across Eu are realizing just that, and reacting. Democracy at it’s best. Voters decided to try other set of politicians.

      Have you ever followed Austrian politics? The FPÖ has never been under 10% since 1990. 15% is their baseline and often peak over 25%. They had 26% when the even more right wing BZÖ got 10%.

      And FPÖ win in Austria wouldn’t be surprising at all. Especially with a little nudge from some other nations.

      There’s a disconnection between people issues and fear and the political parties.

      Pretty much everyone is very worry about:
      – too much immigration that leads to crime and poor integration.
      – safety, unless it’s a high profile case of a serious crime, police in europe is useless to protect the people from the small crime, the type of crime that creates insecurity.
      – green policies regardless of the immediate cost on people wallet. ( this one is finally changing).
      – decreasing living standards in Europe ( this one for sure far right will not solve, but it’s easier to blame other when you never hold power ).

      The problem is that only the far right talks about this, sure, many people don’t agree with them and they want to go to far, like blaming immigrants for everything or dismissing climate changing, but are the only ones that try to have a solution. All the rest of the politic parties just say that everything is fine.

      I don’t understand why people are surprise with the rise of the far right, it’s pretty obvious.

      Nothing new. Their larger voter base is around 1/3 of Austrian voters, when they are not affected by their latest giant corruption scandal. Luckily their voters appear to suffer from dementia and the effect of the latest corruption case usually does not last for more than one election period, if at all.

      Austria was leading the rise of right populism before that was even a thing in most of Europe. Others felt very superior due to that, there were even (vastly counterproductive) sanctions against Austria over that benefited the FPÖ and no one else. Nowdays the situation is different. While the populist or pro-Russian right might not have one 1/3 of the voters in every EU member state, such a result is at least not unrealistic in most. It is the world we live in.

      tbf: 70% of austrians still do not vote for the FPÖ

      the FPÖ is somewhere around 30% in the latest polls before the election and while that puts them (narrowly) in first placce, that still doesn’t represent the majority of voters by a large margin.

      The real problem is rather that the other parties (that all oppose the FPÖ and already said before the elections that they will not go into a coalition with them) are so fractured.

      Fact is: the majority of austrians (including me) are still very much opposed to the FPÖ and its far right policies.

    16. Prudent_Classroom583 on

      I mean right wing has been always strong in Austria and Austrian themselves might be one of the most xenophobic people in EU.

    17. Technoist on

      HOW IS IT POSSIBLE that Austrians vote for these clowns even after all the scandals, corruption and infiltration? Are they really this simple minded stupid? If so they get what they deserve. Get your popcorn ready for the next Russian reveal.

    18. anxcaptain on

      Austria is a Russian spy nest. Beautiful country but that shit needs clean up.

    20. Pro_ban_evader043 on

      How did we get here: rampant migration, unaffordable housing and essentials, trampling of free-speech rights, a sense of betrayal by those who were in power for the past 2 decades. The trend is the same in most of Europe rn.

      Will the far-right save us? Hell no

      Is it understandable that people vote for them? Obviously

    21. Significant_Stop723 on

      I remember their closet homo ex-leader. Then the Ibiza scandal. Then proven Russian interference. All those things don’t matter to voters because of immigration 

    23. TheAustrianAnimat87 on

      Well, the FPÖ would definitely be another hindrance for the EU and a benefit for Putin.

    25. Fine_Gur_1764 on

      I’m going to go out on a limb and say it has something to do with millions of illegal immigrants entering Europe in the last few years?

    28. budapestersalat on

      Not saying it’s not a cause for concern but coming in at first place doesn’t mean they will be in government. Media is always playing up who gets first place but in proper parliamentary democracies a better question is who gained the most compared to last election, and even that does not determine the ultimate winners who will form government.

    30. RoidMD on

      In Denmark, the left-leaning government led by Social Democrats took a hard stance on immigration and they haven’t had much of a rise in far-right popularity in the past decade. Just saying…

    32. DommeUG on

      I don’t think the question is how did it get there, but why has it never stopped?

    33. evolutionnext on

      I just voted against them 15 mins ago… so you can add that to the polls! 😉

    34. relapsing_not on

      a good chunk of austrians always had far right leanings. this is nothing new

    35. bpm6666 on

      Fingers crossed that this time germany doesn’t follow the Austrian lead.

    36. lousy-site-3456 on

      It’s really weird how the FPÖ goes up in Polls whenever their leaders are obvious narcissist scumbags. By now also everyone knows they are corrupt to the core and view the state as a Selbstbedienungsladen, quite contrary to how they claim to care for the common man. Hm, wait, do I sense a pattern? 

      Thankfully, their promises are mostly empty, whenever in power they do nothing except enrich themselves and their cronies, and quite clumsily too. Which is of course bad enough. To be fair, all the “old” parties in Austria more or less do this. Again I say, do I sense a pattern?

    37. omicron_velorum on

      One famous austrian painter from long gone past would be proud ^^

    38. Drillinstructor94 on

      People forget too fast. FPÖ fucked up in the past and people still vote for them

    41. dart-builder-2483 on

      Russia and China are winning the information war, it’s a pretty simple explanation really.
