On Tuesday, there will be a confidence vote which Kurz and the ÖVP does not expect to survive. Either an anti-ÖVP coalition or an expert government will be formed in preparation of a new election.

Here's the best of part of the scandal. These two polls are alleged to be fake. They show then ÖVP leader and vice chancellor Reinhold Mitterlehner with much worse numbers than other pollsters show. And then they asked a hypothetical question with a Kurz led ÖVP winning the election. The right wing tabloids ran a barrage of such fake polls to pressure Mitterlehner to resign and to push Kurz as leader. They succeeded and the rest became a self fulfilling prophecy.







You can check out the list of fake polls on wikipedia to see the full extent of the manipulation.

What a mess. But one question, did they forged the data of polling, or completely made up the numbers?
From what I understand (using google translate), the polls are real but the numbers are "massaged" so to speak.

I wish Tender is still here with his entertaining exaggerated anecdotes.
