I feel that I should just point out that the candidate is supported by the Greens. He's not a member of the party.

Fair enough, Austrian politics isn't something I know about, but support isn't free is it! No doubt there will be more damaging/crackpot carbon tax/reduction policies as a result.

It was the Austrians who challenged the strike price arrangement for Hinkley C, so the watermelon tendency is well embedded.

I personally feel disappointed by this. Austria is one of my favourite countries and I'd hate to see it ruined in the way Sweden is.

Sorry I meant 'enriched'.

I also have a huge mistrust of postal voting.

Ruined doesn't even begin to describe what's happening in Sweden at the moment.

Quite right i,m disappointed Hofer did not win as i,m sure he would have put Austria back to where it was , a beautiful country!
Europe is please though which tells us everything we need to know, such a shame.

rumours about a rigged election continue

If that percentage turnout isn't a glitch they'll continue for some time.

Surely any question about the result at all should render it invalid and the election must be done again properly??

You must have missed the memo which noted that only elections producing the 'wrong' result must be re-run.

Every time I read about Sweden it seems to be getting worse and worse, how any country's politicians could manage to sell-out their own people and culture is beyond me. Oh yeah, Dave is trying to do that to Britain, I forgot.

Let's face it, Dave is finishing the job that Labour did their best to complete.

And there's where the rot set in. Proud to say i never voted Labour. It's a shame Dave will go down in history for squandering a golden opportunity to make a real difference, much like Malcolm Fraser in Australia in the 70's after Labor sent the country broke.

Cameron - a lightweight who could not counter the direction Tony took.

One will be remembered more than the other - for all sorts of reasons.

Press reports that the chances for a rerun of the vote are high due to irregularities in the vote counting process and postal votes.
The judgement will be delivered tomorrow at noon. Yikes.

This will be interesting. Circumstances have changed considerably post-brexit.

This will shake things up, or should do.

I believe the right wing candidate has been talking about an Auxit referendum, but I don't know what powers he has.
