   actually the #election result in #austria is not a novelty. it shows similarities with the 2008 election

   considering that BZÖ was a FPÖ spinoff founded by jörg haider, you could add both party's numbers and get 28,24% with a combined gain of 13,09%

   that's surprisingly close to FPÖ's 28,8% with 12,6% gain today. also interesting: in 2008 ÖVP had a similar result of 25,89% like today (26,3%)

     but the fact that now it is only one party, make it more problematic? 🤔

     @elCelio @mayly no, i think apparently in austria, the winner party does not get additional seats in parliament for being first
     
     i at least take solace in the fact that the sum aggregate of fascists or fascist sympathizers is still more or less the same as it was in 2008

     @NeonPurpleStar @elCelio seats are roughly proportional to the vote share, but d'hondt arithmetics are slightly biased to favor bigger parties

     in 2008 BZÖ and FPÖ got 55 seats combined. FPÖ now has 57. you could argue that being divided cost both parties a single seat each

     to form a government only two rules are in play (always!):

     1) the president (former green party leader van der bellen) can pick basically anyone to form a goverment

     2) a >50% majority in parliament can fire the government

     what happened yesterday is def unfortunate, but it is still a relief that despite the constant meddling of the kremlin in our elections (for a decade now), the far right has a ceiling that is almost the same as in 2008
