Most countries would have a recount with it being as close as this. With PR we don't Need recounts normally. (Only 2006 BZÖ was narrowly above the 4%-threshold) |

The reason, why Hofer performed so surprisingly strongly - sympathy vs. ideology:  |

  Geographically there appeared 3 major surprises:  - The SubUrbs around Linz,... became largely green, while those of Salzburg and especially Graz, Klagenfurt went mainly blue. - The once most conservative areas in Tyrol&Vorarlberg (Upper-InnValley, West-EastTyrol; BregenzWood) were taken by v.d.Bellen. - The SalzKammerGut (SW-UpperA.) - mining, SPÖ-StrongHold, some Protestants - didn't turn blue as similar areas. |

The 60/40 gender split is astonishing.

Gutted for Austria and the FPO, but the big prize is winning the legislative election.

The 60/40 gender split is astonishing. Yes, and SORA provides us more details:
Men in the "MiddleAges" (=30-59): 37:63 Women below 30: 67:33
The 2 milieus (Blue&Green) are very distinct, of course, but politics has indeed been a problem for many couples in the last month...

No surprise, then, to see a Tory supporting the nazis The problem with polarising politics into hard-left vs hard-right is that it forces ordinary and otherwise fairly moderate people to choose an extreme. And they might not choose your extreme. That's why it's a bad thing. |
