    “The party was founded by former Nazis in the 1950s.” Just in case anyone was wondering if it isn’t as bad as it sounds.

    I wish media would stop refering to getting 30% in a proportional representation system as winning. They are the most voted party, no more, no less. The result is bad enough but calling it winning sets the stage to ignore the 70% that don’t agree with them.

      The word they need to use is “plurality.” I guess they think people won’t know what it means.

    A fascist party coming to power.

    Led by a man who wants to call himself Chancellor.

    In Austria.
