@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

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%)

@hope_n_beauty wenn ich an die hubert aiwanger affäre denke, versteh ich auch das dilemma, dass ma faschos keine aufmerksamkeit schenken möchte. oft profitieren sie sogar davon, wenn ma sie laut kritisiert :blobfoxterrified:

@CrimethInc is this a reportage or an opinion piece? we all know netanyahu is a bulldozer but i miss any reference to hamas, their civil war against fatah and the resulting totalitarian conditions in gaza nowadays that have severely obstructed the goal of freedom for palestine.

please add some context and include that in your infographics as well:
