What ?

If those were the results, what the seat distribution would be. It's not really meaningful in this poll, but it is when parties miss the threshold.

[Хahar 🤔]

I'm still looking for a party. Will somebody help?

[Хahar 🤔]

Is it normal than OVP is fourth in Vienna in this poll?

It doesn't seem too strange. I think that most of the bourgeois vote would go to the FPÖ.

[Хahar 🤔]

LIF: 128
Grüne: 117
KPÖ: 103
SPÖ: 21
ÖVP: -70
FPÖ: -151
BZÖ: -155

My opinion of the LIF just shot up. Honestly, that was the only thing that surprised me.

[Хahar 🤔]

The FPÖ and BZÖ should run a common list. Fortunately, they're not.

[Хahar 🤔]

KPÖ 86.9
LIF 81.3
Grüne 78.1
BF 65.7
SPÖ 65.1
ÖVP 57.1
BZÖ 44.3
FPÖ 42.4

Worse test, it seems.

I didn't weight the questions first, but after the second time I also had the KPÖ first ...

Dirty frigging commie. Go wash your hands. Go vote for Jas in Atlasia, and ye shall be forgiven.

No! I needed that vote!

[Хahar 🤔]

Why do similar parties debate each other?

[Хahar 🤔]

Because that's where most of the votes swing.

Fair enough. Will there be any SPÖ- ÖVP debates? I assume there are swing voters between the center-left and center-right, though I know they are rare indeed in Germany.

[Хahar 🤔]

The FPÖ numbers disappoint me.

[Хahar 🤔]

The FPÖ numbers disappoint me.

They are stagnating, because the BZÖ is gaining due to Jörg Haider. If they were united (18%+7%), they would fight for 1st place.

Which is very scary.

What are the differences? Is it personality-based?

[Хahar 🤔]

Parliament is in session?

[Хahar 🤔]

Wow. You have overprotectionist parents.

[Хahar 🤔]

Just came back from voting.

H.C. Strache of the FPÖ looks like someone gave him a blow-job while voting:

LOL.

Is an SPÖ-ÖVP-Grüne coalition feasible?

[Хahar 🤔]

Looks like another Grand Coalition is the only workable solution.

[Хahar 🤔]

Looks like another Grand Coalition is the only workable solution.

And this is the reason I don't like proportional representation.

Under a FPTP system, we'd probably have 35% SPÖ, 30% ÖVP, 25% FPÖ, and 10% BZÖ.

which would give us a majority.

Give whom? You'd still have the Grand Coalition.

ÖVP-FPÖ

Does the ÖVP want such a thing?

[Хahar 🤔]

With 72.5% counted (and most of what`s out being Vienna), if I'm reading this right they're projecting Greens just ahead of BZÖ now. Oh, and a theoretical SPÖ-FPÖ majority.

SPÖ-FPÖ? Is that even possible?

[Хahar 🤔]

92 needed for a majority. Total possible coalitions:

SPÖ-ÖVP (likely)
SPÖ-FPÖ (possible)
SPÖ-BZÖ-Grünen (very unlikely)
ÖVP-FPÖ-BZÖ (impossible)
ÖVP-FPÖ-Grünen (very unlikely)
ÖVP-BZÖ-Grünen (very unlikely)

Chancellor Faymann, it seems.

[Хahar 🤔]

So a grand coalition it is, seemingly.

[Хahar 🤔]

What's the super-ÖVP part of Hungaryland?

[Хahar 🤔]

With that map, I'm glad the FPÖ and BZÖ are hopelessly divided. but you need to relabel it to "Parties of the Right" and "Parties of the Left".

29% of the Austrian population is terminally stupid.

[Хahar 🤔]

Haider is dead?

RIP.

[Хahar 🤔]

Haider himself was the biggest thing standing in the way of unification, no?

And this makes an ÖVP-FPÖ-BZÖ coalition far more likely, methinks. The ÖVP no longer has any incentive to form a coalition. We likely won't see a government until next year.
