Three parties say they have reached a deal to form a new centrist Austrian government, five months after an election was won by a far-right party that later failed in an attempt to form an administration.
They “won” with under 30% of votes … I would argue it’d be a greater failure of democracy if that minority gets to to run the country for 5 years when no one wants to work with them.
Every government was gonna rule over unreasonable psychopaths, mindless rapists, ruthless murderers. Every government rules over people they fundamentally can’t work with… That’s not the weird part.
The options were either: the other parties align with them — which wasn’t going to happen, as nobody wants to work with them due to their extreme positions — or the other parties create a majority coalition within themselves. What happened was that the majority of the votes are in leadership. That’s democracy.
