Far right in Austria projected to win tight election race
www.bbc.com
Austria's Freedom Party heads for an unprecedented poll victory under Herbert Kickl, projections say.

The projections, based on initial results, give Kickl’s party 29.1% - almost three points ahead of the conservative People’s Party on 26.2%, but far short of a majority.

      Joke parties have existed since the beginning of western electoral democracies.

      This wikipedia article is a pleasant read.

      My favourite current one would have to be germany’s mildly successful “Die Partei”. With their best policy proposal being to. “Wage a war of aggression against Lichtenstein in order to force democratization and abolish serfdom”
