Well, if their elections are anything like ours, the liberals will keep counting until they win.
postal vote = absentee ballot.
Like in Oregon.
Interesting that the Green Party guy is the opponent.
If its close, the leftists win.
Trump’s hard-line anti-Islam stance made it possible for Austria’s right to make such gains. Trump 2016!
“Mr Hofer had 51.9% and Mr Van der Bellen - an independent candidate who is supported by the Green Party - had 48.1% after the final count of votes cast at polling stations, the interior ministry said.”
Homer is ahead by almost 4%. Unless they stuff absentee ballots, I doubt the greenie can close that gap.
Anyone saying a nation should control its borders and place limits on the admission of inassimilable people is automatically labeled far-right by the media.
>>...a battle closely watched by the EU, which is struggling to contain a surge of anti-immigrant parties.<<
Why is anti-immigration sentiment a threat to the EU? In plain-speak, the EU is struggling to contain anti-muslim parties. How does the EU believe that it benefits from its member nations being overrun by Muslim thugs?
If it is neck and neck, the fascist left will win.
The term far Right is just a euphemism for anyone who dares to stand up to the elite & oppose their dispossession in their own land.
Unless it was a field of 5 or more with the winner getting a plurality with just 20% or so, I’d wouldn’t be calling anyone getting 50% of the vote “hard-right”.
“far right” = not wanting your country overrun by aggressive primitives.
