🇦🇹 Austrian Elections & Politics 6.0 - Upper Austria election: 26 Sept. 2021

[PSOL]

Note that even THC (Strache’s party) has to collect the 2.950 signatures in the next month to be on the Oct. 11 Vienna ballot.

THC actually has 3 of 100 seats in the Vienna parliament, so usually they would not, but Vienna has a statute that says that only parties winning representation in the previous election can run again without collecting signatures.

Strache’s group only split from the FPÖ a few months ago, so they need to collect.

Should be no problem for them though.

There are some 20 small groups/parties who want to run, among them LEFT (which includes the KPÖ), the Pan-European VOLT, the Satire Party THE PARTY or the Beer Party.

What other parties are apart of this LEFT group?

[PSOL]

Links 248
Green 228
Söz 193
Beer 103
Neos 88
SPO 25
HC -203
Ovp -273
FPÖ-303

Yeah, I definitely see it

[PSOL]

I couldn’t resist

Jacobin Magazine interviewed someone from LINKS about the Vienna Parliamentary Election

This is a surprising victory for LINKS, exactly what did they do to get these results?

This is not the Greens I voted for ...

Oh this definitely is the Greens you’ve voted for. Has the events in France and the widespread documentation of elitism in these parties been unnoticed to you until now?

The Greens got a lot of loan votes from the Social Dems in the 2019 election, so you could expect the Greens to behave at least a bit more like them in the coalition - and not act just as a rubber stamp for the power-hungry, worker-hating ÖVP.

That’s not how politics work brah, enjoy your Green austerity

[PSOL]

The KPÖ are just SPÖ in a darker shade of red. Still I’m going to root for their rise in the polls because I despise official European social democrats. After many years of far right fascists like FPÖVP bungling things up, many are tired with their nation being a joke country.

[PSOL]

Well, it’s happened again, Jacobin is creaming their pants over a lackluster nominal social democratic politician as the KPÖ rises to new heights

[PSOL]

Since when were there serious parties in Austria?

Honey, have you looked at what options there are in Britain?
