Re: Sunday Afternoon Open Thread (4.00 / 5)

First results from the Austrian elections (it's a slaughterhouse!)

Österreichische Nationalratswahlen 2008

Auszählungsgrad 46.96% (17:28)
Partei % Mandate
SPÖ 29,5 58
ÖVP 26,0 52
GRÜNE 9,4 18
FPÖ 18,4 36
BZÖ 9,7 19
FRITZ 2,0 0
LIF 1,7 0

Pretty much none of the cities have reported yet, so the results might yet move up for the SPÖ. Haider's far-right BZÖ seems to be outperforming the polls. FPÖ about level with the polls, might yet drop. Not a good day for the conservative ÖVP, that much is already sure.

So there will be another Grand Coalition with the nationalists as the major opposition. Doesn't sound too comforting.

Thanks, and could you repost in my half-hour late FP story?

Re: Sunday Afternoon Open Thread (none / 1)

Any word on how the 16-18 year old cohort went?

Re: Sunday Afternoon Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

Not yet, only fluff stories. According to exit polls, in the age group up until 30 years old the FPÖ came in first, with 25%, before the ÖVP (23) and SPÖ (21). But the 16 to 18 year old cohort is only a small part of that, of course.
