What's behind the rise of far-right parties across Europe | DW News

In Austria, the far-right Freedom Party is celebrating its first parliamentary election victory, winning around 29 percent of the vote according to preliminary results. The party has vowed to create what it calls a fortress against migrants. Chancellor Karl Nehammer's governing conservatives came in second, and have indicated they won't form a coalition with the Freedom Party under its current leader.

[@Hellbughunter]

If you think a sinking population is not a danger for an economy.

[@chrismath149]

@@Hellbughunter People struggle with financial issues which makes raising children more difficult so fewer are being born. In Austria, the medium income households are shrinking. When I was a kid it was still possible to raise two children without both parents working forty hours a week, now the mother needs to hand over her child into a care facility just so enough money is earnt. Soon, there will be no one left who can pay taxes. That's the reason why any left government is going to bring ruin to Austria - they want to raise taxes ( for the rich, as if that isn't going to influence the economy ).

Cancellor Nehammer, to my opinion and understanding, seemed to have said he would not have the person Kickl in the government - but he did not exclude a coalition with the party FPÖ itself I believe (the other party members). His party has formed coalitions already with FPÖ on county level. It is most likely I guess that he will form a coalition with FPÖ on national level, just without Mr Kickl playing a leading role in the government.

it's called a coalition, and that's literally what parliamentarism in European democracies is designed to encourage. Don't forget the last time "the party who won a large vote share of the country" with an insane program was included in the government, lets say for instance in 1933 in Germany, or 1946 in Czechoslovakia and see that their inclusion was by far the most undemocratic move possible.

[@AlonsoFan2023]

Herbert Kickl is not exactly innocent of the fact that nobody wants to work with him. In addition to the political differences, his attitude towards other parties is very aggressive and hostile. In a state where you can't govern without coalitions, you have to be more willing to compromise. Kickl, on the other hand, is always geared towards confrontation. That may work in the final phase of an election campaign, but he always adopts a hostile stance. Even the AFD in Germany is more reserved in its public communication.

[@silviualbisoru5749]

@@AlonsoFan2023 really it doesn’t matter who or how he is, the only thing that matters is the fact that he was elected by the majority of the citizens.

And this will only be bad for the country itself,look at France how well it turned “uniting against the right”

[@AlonsoFan2023]

​@@silviualbisoru5749 I can imagine that voters feel cheated. However, the electoral system only works with coalitions and these should be carefully considered. In Germany, for example, the liberal party FDP entered into a coalition with the SPD and the Greens and thus lost the majority of its own voters. Such coalitions are a complex subject and the parties should be at least somewhat politically compatible. If this is not the case, you quickly lose your own voters if you work together with a party that does not fit your own political image. France is definitely an extreme example. The state is virtually no longer governable. The question that needs to be asked is whether the electoral system is still up to date. I wouldn't blame the parties themselves, everyone is trying to take advantage of the situation.

[@lise1255]

BIG MISTAKE, - if Austrian politicians don't acknowledge their existence and the issues that got them elected. It will only backfire. Swedish politicians tried to exclude their similar "rightwing" party from all influence, when it won its first landslide election. That only coursed them to win even more voters second time. The established politicians started slowly to interact with them, but it wasn't before their 3.and even bigger win, that they could no longer be ignored. Since other parties started dialog with them and actually listened and acknowledged the real problems (with Immigrants), this "rightwing" party has lost some of their voters. All people wanted, was for the politicians to acknowledge, that there are real problems with certain immigrants.
