Who would you vote for in the Vienna state election ?

Do you actually vote for a candidate or for a list?

If one votes for a candidate, I'd consider voting for the Jewish FPÖ Viennese Landtag/city council member David Lasar. As much as I'm a critic of the FPÖ regarding its hardly covert nazi stuff and the anti-Semitism within its organizaton, I'm sure someone who is in the board of an orthodox synagogue (like Lasar) can be trusted not to be anti-Semitic and to make appropriate decisions about his party membership; what's more, there will be a Red-Green majority anyway, so it would just function as a protest vote against immigration, which is the appropriate thing to do; Austria really needs to get its act together. I also like it that Lasar has made many contacts with people from Likud and YB in Israel (even though I'm of course to the right of these parties). Last of all, rumor has it that right-wing Jews called David are always awesome

If one votes for a list, then I'd probably go for WWW, even though they're useless. Probably couldn't get myself to vote for an FPÖ list as a whole in Vienna, of all places, given its history with Jews.

Thanks for your answer Hmmmm. Glad that I don't have to vote in Vienna because I really wouldn't know what to do. Voting for the FPÖ still seems so wrong, even if there is a non-problematic candidate. I'll ask my family there whom I should root for, lol.

Well, I asked one of my family members. Apart from being an immigrant in Austria himself (from a culturally quite distinct country...), he is a mentsch and he said he would certainly vote for the FPÖ/Strache if he would be living in Vienna (they live in a suburb now), so some of my doubts have been taken away, though not all of them...

Meanwhile, the percentage of FPÖ votes in this poll (29,8%) is quite close to the percentage of Viennese that will vote for the FPÖ.
