Austrian voters handed a first ever general election victory to the far-right Freedom Party on Sunday, vote projections showed, illustrating rising support for hard-right parties in Europe fueled by concern over immigration levels.
The Eurosceptic, Russia-friendly FPO held a slim lead in opinion polls for months over Chancellor Karl Nehammer's ruling conservative Austrian People's Party (OVP) in a campaign dominated by immigration and worries about the economy.
[...]
The FPO, which wants to stop granting asylum altogether and build a "fortress Austria" preventing migrants from entering, was initially led by a former Nazi lawmaker in the 1950s.
It has sought to moderate its image, but new controversy about its past surfaced at the weekend, when a video published by newspaper Der Standard showed members of the party attending a funeral where a song popular with the Nazi SS was sung.

Kickl's victory may prove pyrrhic, as he is a polarising figure under whom other party leaders have refused to serve.
They didn't get a majority of the vote and hopefully won't be able to build a coalition at least. None of the other parties want to hang with them

Not being hard enough on immigration, evidently.

So a biggest party that will be sidelined by a governing majority kind of thing?

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

More like being too hard on immigration to give the far right parties legitimacy

If you are thinking about the 1930s, Germany annexed Austria with a threat of invasion.

Did you, what, think they were a monarchy or something? That the Habsburgs were still kicking around?

Edit: Never mind, I misread the post.

I think he's making a backhanded complaint about political discussions here.

By that same logic Hitler was perfectly fine also.
Also, this is a quality post.

Im aware other countries have elections. It is like I said 99% of the politics threads is US politics. There is probably a JD Vance, Trump, or Harris thread on the first page of CE at any point in the day.

Its a bit confusingly worded but he almost certainly meant had in the sense of one just happened, not as in happens in general.

Immigration is just the punching bag that the right use when talking about economic troubles.
The fact is the parties on the left are not addressing economic needs well enough and the right just uses immigrants as a scapegoat for these issues.

Then make topics about politics in other countries.

Seems like a pretty simple fix.

Russia has their hand in a lot of far-right European political parties, hoping to destabilize things further over there. All part of siphoning support off of Ukraine.
