The projections, based on initial results, give Kickl's party 29.1% - almost three points ahead of the conservative People's Party on 26.2%, but far short of a majority.

Pro russia party great.

Welcome to the Hungary/Slovakia club austria.

Austro-Hungarian vibes are strong.

Also, if you want to feel internal disgust. Note that the FPÖ (which is the winning party here), was formed by former ranking Nazis in the 1950s.

Joke parties have existed since the beginning of western electoral democracies.

This wikipedia article is a pleasant read.

My favourite current one would have to be germany’s mildly successful “Die Partei”. With their best policy proposal being to. “Wage a war of aggression against Lichtenstein in order to force democratization and abolish serfdom”

Seems that Austria is just as racist as France, Italy, Hungary, Slovakia, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, England or the USA. I probably missed a few along the way.
