Well European governments have little manouver room when it comes to the topic at hand, refugees and asylum seekers. The Austrian stance was for a long time a very strict one and has not become any less in recent years. But it acts in the framework of international and national law, especially the European Convention on Human Rights and Geneva Convention. The former is a directly applicable part of the Austrian constitution which cannot be changed by the Austrian legislator but would have to be changed by all the signatory countries. That is also why the FPÖ did not increase the number of repatriations during their term in office from 2017 to 2019.

Always the exact same circle in every single European country where the right-wing party has skyrocketed. It's pathetic.

[@Fluxwux]

You don’t understand parliamentarianism. It’s not uncommon at all that parties with 30-40% of seats to be left without any government ministers or policy influence. It happens all the time with major center right and center left parties when the opposition coalitions has a majority. That’s how it works and it’s not undemocratic. FPÖ is for a Western European “far right” party very radical in terms of Pro Russia, Corrupt, Anti EU, anti-constitutional, extremist views/“banter” and anti immigration stance. Much more so than for example PVV in The Netherlands, FDL in Italy, SD and FrP in Sweden/Norway or Reform in the UK. Which makes FPÖ much more difficult to have in government due to safety risks and incompatible policies/values. Not to mention that every FPÖ coalition in history has resulted in collapse and scandals. No wonder the other parties doesn’t want to cooperate. Even if I agree it’s a nessicary evil for the established parties to drastically restrict immigration to disarm the FPÖ’s main voting magnet.

[@stammesbruder]

The FPÖ puts the most amount of money into propaganda, they primarily work with populistic rethoric - a playbook that has been proven to work over time. The issues created are fictitious or at least over-emphasized. It's not rooted in reality. There is nothing to look into - their voters are victims of (by now) well-known manipulation tactics to believe in a false enemy. It's all their rethoric revolves around - a heterogenous force (which always happens to be a rather powerless minority) that destroys everything we hold dear. The FPÖ is a dangerous party, and it's issues can only be adressed by getting them away from power as much as possible. Otherwise, they will keep poisoning the well. The root-cause can only be effectively adressed by severely limiting freedom of expression, and I think we all know that's not going to happen, for very good reasons.

Call that status quo all you want, but it’s not something weird or illogical - especially when grand coalitions have been a thing in European politics in all of modern history. And I’m pretty sure FPÖ will do something insane this term as well that makes them plummet down to 15-20% in the next election, which is basically a rule of nature now. Not to mention that far right parties in Europe usually have a ceiling at about 30%. So no, the left will not disappear by 2030 😅 Do you honestly think Austria must become full Orban, pro Russian, climate deniers, leave the EU and break every constitutional and international law applied on migration (to “send them all back”) and accept their corruption or security risks as ministers just because FPÖ got 29%? What about the 71% of Austrians that didn’t vote FPÖ? Sure I think, the other big parties must (and most likely will) adapt to the concerns of FPÖ voters on issues like migration, crime, cost of living etc in order to win back votes and take the problems more seriously now. But that doesn’t mean a FPÖ lead government, or even ministers.

[@konstantinwaser]

Because it is not like the parties in Austria dont talk about immigration, the ÖVP actually has a pretty hard stance on immigration, comparing their stance 10 years ago, also the other parties talk differently and actually moved more into the right, concerning this topic. But they also show that it isnt that easy to just say that all immigrants are bad. So when someone steps up and tells mostly formally less-educated people that dont really want to invest their time to research history and politics that everything is the immigrants fault, the people may even WANT to believe it, as in this case, they would not be held responsible for mistakes they made or bad luck they had in their past. (This should not be a personal attack on these people, the votes show that less formally educated people tend to vote more for the FPÖ) Also, all "solutions" of the FPÖ concerning immigration actually are just plain dumb, like "we dont let anybody in anymore" which violates Human Rights, the Austrian constitution, geneva convention, EU-laws and so on. What is pretty funny is that, every voter that really fears immigration (even though statistics show that at least economically immigrants are almost always a net-positive - just look at the USA) would be better off voting the ÖVP, as their stances would actually be implementable. And the funniest, the "working class people" that now tend to vote for the FPÖ, actually would suffer the most under a FPÖ-ÖVP coalition (which is the only possibility where their voted party would be in charge), because all economic and social policies by these parties would help the upper 10% (approximately of course). But why take an interest in politics when someone gives you free beer and tells you that everything is another persons fault... And yeah we still have around 10% naz*s in this country that will vote for the party no matter what happens, as shown after Ibiza. And maybe one last thing, you cant just "revise" your stance on immigration if you have something like a moral code. This party (FPÖ) talks about pushing people back into countries where they suffered for many years under sometimes cruel dictators or fundamentalist idiots, which would statistically kill them with a high probability, which I at least find a bit wrong...

[@Someone-gx2sb]

The other parties do and already have changed their positions, but, as always, the original profits the most out of it. Also, while immigration is a major concern, people generally don't really care about work or outcomes, they just want to hear racist bullshit to feel safe. Why I'm sure of that? Kickl was minister of inner affairs, during the last ÖVP-FPÖ-coalition. Under his reign, the most refugees arrived in Austria - However, people rather ignore that, because he's talking like a screaming toddler in kindergarden, much to the liking of a lot of people.

[@TheHiebl007]

Some did though. The ÖVP immigration stance is very close to the FPÖ stance. Most differences are constitutional issues (stuff the FPÖ promises but can't deliver without a government that has two thirds of the seats in parliament). The people just don't believe them, because it's the FPÖ's main topic since the 1990s.

Non of those are very likely in the Austrian system as the Federal President would probably not go with any of those solutions. The most likely option even with the slim margin is a ÖVP/SPÖ government, with a more unlikely option of a ÖVP/SPÖ/NEOS triple coalition. The second possible option is a FPÖ/ÖVP government, which at the moment seems very unlikely unless one of the two parties switches their leader and the ÖVP does a 180° u-turn on its position and the Federal President does one too. He has to this point ruled out to appoint the FPÖ to a government due to their anti EU and anti human rights positions. A technocratic government is very unlikely, a ÖVP minority government is all but impossible - who should back that up? The FPÖ defininitly not, the SPÖ certainly not as well. BTW the whole fuss about migration policies. Austria already has very strict rules there, scraping the limits of what the European Convention on human rights allows. The FPÖ already had control of the Interior ministry and that policy area, the number of refugees arriving did not decrease and the number of repatriations did not increase. It is all a bunch of BS promises, that is not founded in anything the Austrian constiution would allow. So unless the FPÖ goes full dictatorship and flies in Russian troops to back themselves up, there wont be any significant changes to the way Austria treats migrants.

Until we find a solution to the worldwide wealth inequality (which also means that we need to stop getting investment income from former colonial nations which far exceeds "development help"), the motivation to migrate will only increase. But the reason why migration will end democracy is not because we cannot afford to integrate refugees or refugees leading to exploding criminality, but instead because the capitalists suck our economy dry, and the rightwing parties are successfully redirecting the blame, because they are supported by the anti-left capitalists (they prefer to be oligarchs in fascism instead of being unneeded in socialism). There are obstacles with democracys ending migration: Asylum is a human right, and therefore at least for this part you are not able to remove it, without damaging your constitutional state which we consider to be part of "spirit of democracy". And yes, that includes "push backs". Also there are many people who you cannot "deport", if they illegaly travel to your country: no nationality (or they are successfull to hide it), source country does not accept them,... I would assume a country trying the "final solution" for this problem to not be considered a democracy any more...

In my opinion, as an Austrian, an FPÖ and ÖVP coalition is the most likely. First, other coalitions would have to include an ÖVP/SPÖ partnership, which is highly unlikely given their current political stands, such as the SPÖ wanting to introduce a 32-hour workweek. They also prefered the FPÖ over the SPÖ in the past when it came to coalition forming. I'm also not sure if Nehammer will remain the leader of the ÖVP. Additionally, it would look pretty undemocratic if Van der Bellen didn't give the task of forming a government to the FPÖ, which would only strengthen them in the next election.

[@MaxiTB]

This is the least likely coalition because it would mean one of the party leaders have to step down which historically never worked. The most likely outcome is a ÖVP-SPÖ-NEOS coalition, simple because the ÖVP/Greens have completely lost trust in each other over the recent months, especially since the EU debacle.

[@tturtle1659]

Exactly. Schmähammer, Karoline Edtstadler, Hanger and the rest of that lot will have to go first, and that's down to whoever pulls the strings at the ÖVP (possibly Johanna Mikl-Leitner?). The other alternative would be Germany-like coalition which will do nothing to deal with the issues we face and I predict will fall apart way before full legislature period. And then the FPÖ will get 40%, not 29% of the votes.

[@yinzuro]

@@MaxiTB Yeah,but then again, I can't really see an ÖVP/SPÖ coalition consindering how they interacted with each other during and before the election. So the question is if, as you said, a ÖVP/SPÖ/NEOS coalition would work together just because they really don't want the FPÖ in government which could backfire pretty damn big imo.

[@MaxiTB]

@@yinzuro True, keep in mind I said most likely, not best or flawless. NEOS will push them to support reforms or they would totally bite themselves into the behind and the grand old parties will not be happy with that. So the coalition is a high risk affair, it could pay off greatly for everyone or bomb like a grand coalition without them - cause let's be honest, nothing would end up being done in another grand one.

It's a shame that you again missed a key factor in analyzing the election results - the education level of the voters. Here are some more detailed numbers from ORF's analysis.

In short yet another election with a stark difference in outcome between the uneducated and the educated population. The uneducated simply don't have the necessary critical and analytical skills to understand the causes of the current mediocre state of the economy in EU and equally as important aren't capable of devising actionable solutions to the problems and thus fall for populism. Plus they tend to spend a lot of their time on social media complaining very loudly instead of using that time to think about solutions and addressing with their local MP(s).. Yes high immigration rates are problematic (the majority of the immigration to Austria is from other EU/EEA countries though) and it's important that immigrants from outside the EU are well and quickly integrated (and that was often neglected by social-democratic parties in Western countries). But from my experience (I live in Oberbayern close to the Austrian border) many of these uneducated FPÖ voters who are "anti-immigration" in fact mean "I want Austria to leave the EU, because all these Croats, Slovenians, Romanians, Poles are taking our jobs and Germans/Bavarians are buying our houses in-mass!" equally as much as they dislike and despise "Muslims and Arabs".

The FPOe doesn't just stand against immigration, the endore nazi actions, they call themself fuehrer, why are you leaving all that out?

Center parties need to understand the current crisis NEEDS to be adressed or the people will keep voting in "extremes". Respect your "enemies", listen to them, and listen to the problems they are pointing to. You might dislike their proposed solution, but CLEARLY, they are talking about problems the public feels are important.

How do you define Far Left? Many confuse Social Democracy with Socialism-Communism and claim its far let, but its certainly not. We could discuss if German "Die Linke" is at least in parts far Left. But its not a noteworthy Party anymore.

[@sciencefliestothemoon2305]

The FPÖ is right of Reform. The party was founded by a Nazi, and is in constant contact with Nazis. Jeez some of them sang the SS hymn on a funeral a couple of days ago

Pretty difficult to pronounce everything correctly on a Europe-wide news show. Ibiza was like the least important thing they mispronounced here. It's not like they said any of their Ö-s correctly. They do habitually make actual factual errors though, so it's definitely something to look out for.

Austrian resident here: the FPÖ have always been strong here, but additionally prior to this election, they also got some “lucky breaks” in the form of the abortive Islamist terror attack on the Taylor Swift gigs in Vienna, plus the flooding, which has severely affected infrastructure in several areas of the country, particularly Carinthia, where their vote surged. There will either be a cordon sanitaire coalition, comprising of several parties opposed to them, or they will go in with the ÖVP again, until the next corruption scandal, which dogs electoral politics here. Although given the ÖVP’s comments on scenario B, to the effect that one can’t govern with a conspiracy theory party, perhaps that option is less likely than it was.

[@davedavids57]

Yer the FPÖ are a weird coalition of Carinthian anti Slovenes, Covid and vaccine deniers, Austrian Serbs, conspiracy theorists, racists and women who have been harassed by foreigners sometime in their lives. It's a weird party.

[@reschi56]

Their lead actually diminished a bit over the last few weeks. The flooding hurt them because it pushed the migration topic back in favor of climate change just before the election. The ÖVP got a lucky that they didn't tank harder, there was a time where they fought with the SPÖ for second place.

[@Alias_Anybody]

But Carinthia specifically wasn't flooded? The floods affected everything north of the Alps, so mostly Lower Austria, Upper Austria and some parts of Styria. Apart from, of course, Bohemia, but that's not part of Austria these days.
