VIENNA, Austria: Austrian People’s Party leader Sebastian Kurz has been formally removed as Austrian Chancellor following a non-confidence vote passed by the Social Democrats and the populist Freedom Party. At just after 4 pm local time a vote of non-confidence in the government of Sebastian Kurz was carried in the Austrian parliament, which sees the downfall of both him as Austrian Chancellor and the rest of his ministers.

The vote was initially proposed by Social Democrat (SPÖ) leader Pamela Rendi-Wagner who addressed Kurz saying, “You have said a lot, but have not yet said that your government has failed. You alone are responsible for it.”

The motion of non-confidence comes in the wake of the so-called “Ibiza scandal” that saw former Freedom Party leader and former Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache, along with former Vienna deputy mayor Johann Gudenus secretly recorded in a villa in 2017 allegedly trying to help the niece of a Russian oligarch purchase Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung in exchange for media influence and government contracts.

That may be so, but it often seems that the only politicians who ever get sunk by corruption scandals are those who challenge the political establishment and status quo. Kurz's government and the Freedom Party, warts and all, is still preferable both to its predecessor and to whatever Eurocrats will no doubt take its place.

What amazes me is with all the past political corruption scandals that have ever been exposed people still believe they can 'get away with it'.

The fatal flaws of ego and arrogance.

People are still enthralled with socialism and communism. When has it ever worked in any group larger than about 150 genetically related people?

From the Heart of Darkness Kurz should have responded: “The horror. The horror.”

Partner, we hope this is the end of the E.U.

The Liberals and Global Elitists are thru and they know we are sick and tired of them taxing us to death and taking in all of these Illegal Aliens. Enough is Enough.

The Mooselimbs in Europe are probably trying to find a way to stay on their welfare rolls, food stamp rolls, and housing rolls, etc., etc., etc.
