What is it about the Austrians.
First we have the NSDAP (National Socialists or Nazi's to history), whose leader was from Osterreich
Following the war, which to put it mildly, was not exactly a resounding success for Austria (nor the rest of the world), one might have thought they would not flirt so outrageously with the right, but
Then we had Jorg Haider and the Freedom Party, which formed part of the government, before falling (not quite so dramatically for either them or the world)
And now the 30% of the electorate have voted for a combination of the Freedom Party and another similar party.
Never let it be said that politics are about prinicples apparently the Socialists are considering forming an alliance with the far right
