Assuming you are a 16-year old or older Austrian citizen living in Salzburg.

I'll vote for the Greens, because SPÖVP are totally unelectable after the investment scandal and FPÖ & Stronach are either far-right-wingers or neoliberals. Pirates and KPÖ have no chance to get 5%.

If you want more information about what's going on, read my election thread.

FPO: Leadership has basically said Hitler wasn't so bad, various explicitly anti-Semitic statements, etc. Not violent in the same way as Jobbik or XA, but worse than FN, etc. (see, e.g.: http://www.jpost.com/International/Austria-Anti-Semitic-cartoon-prompts-inquiry)

BZO: Past leadership was equally bad as the FPO but to my understanding they've basically completely realigned themselves as a Euroliberal party like the German FDP recently, so not like the FPO any more

The Salzburg-FPÖ is not as bad as the federal FPÖ or other state chapters.

There have not been any anti-semitic comments from them, as far as I know.

Only a borderline racist remark from Karl Schnell, the Salzburg-FPÖ leader, when he was a guest talker at a meeting for the German Far-Right "The Republicans" in 2008:

At this meeting he said: "Policies from parties of the center like the CSU, CDU and ÖVP are responsible that nowadays Black-Africans (Schwarzafrikaner) are serving us the beer at the Oktoberfest in Munich."

That's not "borderline racist", Tender.

Ok, I corrected it.
