honey wake up!
new collapsing coalition just dropped!
Honestly why I don't like Parliamentary systems, the coalition collapses
@@ulyssesgrant4324Thats the best part, you can watch the news like a TV drama
@@ulyssesgrant4324 If you don't like democracy, as the saying goes, go live in Russia!
@@rogink No I like Congressional system of government, with a President, set election dates, and three branches. Parliament is Legislature, Judicial and the Executive comes out of Legislature.
@rogink if you don't like democracy or a replica go live in the US with democrats.
Kurz resigned for a diffrent scandal. He resigned for faking his popularity polling in 2016, not for Ibiza
Man the number of 'crisis' videos needed to keep up with everything is crazy.
I live in Austria and I had no clue there was a crisis going on
You should worry about your rogue minister who made a mess recently@@Ruzzky_Bly4t
Save yourself some time because most of these are not worth your attention if you are not directly affected.
calling something a "crisis" or "far right" just cause a party slightly right of the center gets more votes is the only crazy thing here.
ofc it seems more to the right when the mainstream moves to the left more and more over the years...
@@Ruzzky_Bly4tJust vote FPÖ, that is the only advice I can give you, everything else will screw us over.
The "u" in Kurz is pronounced the way as it is in butcher. But you can call him "shorty" that works too.
Fun fact, in many slavic languages, kurz means dick, which is pretty funny to think about from an ethymological standpoint, and also what his name means if you combine German and lets say Slovenian.
You know what really salts my cereal? Whenever an English speaker calls Kurzgesagt for cursed gesacked
As an Austrian, the incompetence of the ÖVP is already there for all to see. They have more or less 0 credibility any more and, along with the ludicrously intolerant FPÖ, have constantly used the Greens as a political scapegoat. Thus the Greens have had their credibility and ability to push for sensible environmental laws hugely undermined by the right-wing, a tactic all to familiar in Europe currently. Considering, however, the EU Nature Restoration Act, was shown to be supported by nearly 82% of the Austrian public, it is incredibly encouraging for an environmental minister to actually do her job and support the will of the people. Being against a Nature Restoration Act should also not be considered 'controversial', as its significance and importance for both climate protection and mitigation of natural disasters such as flooding (see recent flooding issues in Bavaria stemming largely from both agroindustrial greed and political incompetence) is unarguable. The elections in September in Austria will, however, most likely see the FPÖ come into power - despite the improbability of Kickl's position as tenable in a coalition with the ÖVP or SPÖ - and will see the same cycle repeated over and over again. The inability of large swaths of the Austrian public to learn from history (considering the FPÖ was founded by former Nazi members and with Ibizagate being only five years ago) is as frustrating as it is worrying.
I happen to be a very conservative and against EU supremacy and worship of the left of this garbage institution of rich billionaires of WEF and George Soros puppet master.
but at the same time I feel disgusted by the right-wing political parties in Western European countries to create alliance with Russia.
I come from Eastern Europe, more precisely Romania.
Romania, Poland and Baltic nations don't have the nonsense woke leftist ideology that is happening in the West but at the same time we don't agree with our conservative counterparts in the West to create alliance with Russia.
or to give up on funding and helping Ukraine to not be taken over by Russia.
Russia has always been a colonialist empire that invaded and took lands from Eastern European countries. from Poland, Romania, Baltic nations and Finland.
so like I said before. it is disgusting to see Le Pen in France or AFD in Germany or FPÖ in Austria to have positive views and good relationship with Russia and Putin.
this will not go well with my country of Romania.
also, the way Austria is treating Romania by not allowing us into Schengen or how Austrian businesses abuse their power in Romania with regards to energy and forestry is criminal.
this is why I think 2 years ago there was a scandal and laws passed by the Romanian government against Austrian companies.
Le Pen, FPÖ and AFD have completely given up on their conservative and right-wing allies in Poland, Romania and Baltic nations, it seems.
at least Georgia Meloni in Italy isn't that stuoid to be into Russia and Putin.
EU should make everything that is possible to stop being dependent on Russian natural resources.
Putin is a tyrannical dictator that got rich because of Germany. Germany is a car industry manufacturing country and they are desperate for oil/gas.
Germany made Russia rich for almost 35 years by doing business with Putin.
the former chancellor, a leftist SDP leder is friends with Putin and served as a member of board for Russian companies like Gazprom or Lukoil.
Thankyou guys and girls for the explanation..... I'm a Brit living in Austria. Didn't notice what was happening in Vienna as I live in the foothills of the Alps.
You are mega touching grass your whole life then.
thank you for bragging
contrary to Germany, Austrian mountains already have internet ;)
It's kinda a nothingburger tbh. Elections are this year anyway. ÖVP and Greens were at each others throats before. FPÖ would have won anyway too. Didn't really change much in terms of austrian politics.
@@AccranLP Just barely.
Thanks, Spain deserves its own video, not on Sanchez himself, but rather his coalition partners. The EU election performance for them was... Yikes
Podemos are just dumbasses atm, they split the vote from Sumar and I really don´t see the point other than petty personal vendettas. I am on the left myself and Montero and Iglesias were good as activists but Yolanda Díaz was much better at actually doing the job of being a minister than either of them and much more popular than them.
There´s far too much navel gazing and petty rivalry in the left leadership in Spain atm rather than looking at the big picture.
Indeed Sumar right now is a headless party. But they are not alone Esquerra is also leaderless and making curious political moves in the process of chossing the next autonomic president of catalonia.
It really wasn’t a bit deal
The European election in Spain has never been a great deal
Voters are punishing them
As a Romanian, screw Nehammer. That is all.
Austrians agree with you, he sucks
As an American living in Vienna, I think Nehammer has been good for Vienna and for Business. He has had to thread a needle tightly. I think he's a huge improvement over Kurz, Waymer Feyman or Christian Kam. Karl Nehammer is at least competent. Not so much the others.
@@LumenMichaelOne Thinking Nehammer is competent just because he's better than Kurz shows how little you understand about european politics. If you have ever followed the austrian media and the scandals he has been involved already, you would think twice before writing such a nonsense.
every *Western country BADLY NEED Right/far Right* , for at least next 10-15 years for their survival. For Canada it should be next 50 years.
Is this because of Austria's blockade / restriction on Romania's and Bulgaria's accession to the Schengen area?
You forgot to mention that nehammer ruled out a coalition with herbert kickl as the leader of the fpö. Of course there have been many occasions where the övp did not hold on to there promise(like in salzburg) it is still important to mention this fact.
Because ÖVP does not hold to this promise it is not worth mentioning. Everybody knows they will govern with the FPÖ if they get the required seats.
if the övp rules something out, it's a sure sign they want to do exactly that after the election. this has held true since schüssel said "wenn wir dritte werden gehen wir in opposition".
They may break their promise, but there's still the chance, that our (Green Party) president, won't give the power to the FPÖ!
@@dawoifee it's not certain, especially since it looks like the ÖVP will be part of a coalition anyway, no matter with which party. A coalition with the FPÖ has backfired everytime for the ÖVP so far, and now in such a weak position it's unlikely to turn out better - not to say they won't be stupid enough to try anyway, but still.
Watching these videos I get the feeling that pretty much every country is on the brink of some war/chaos/crisis. Gonna go outside now, everything looks quite normal when you are not online. 😄
That sounds like a quote from a German citizen in 1932.
Apart from the climate crisis, most western nations are also facing political ones. Populism is on the rise everywhere and that's not a good thing.
@@Chrissy717The current status quo in Europe is pretty different from 100 years ago and it's not expected us Europeans will start killing each other once again anytime soon. Present day democratic institutions are much stronger as well.
Sure there will always be problems to solve but watching too many videos on the same subjects will throw your mind in a loop. You are falling for the attention economy.
@@Chrissy717It is very good that the populists are on the rise, the traitors are in office now.
@@soundscape26If following the news and knowing what's happening is falling for the attention economy then maybe more of us should start paying attention. Saying "Well institutions are more democratically and liberally aligned than before so it's not so bad" isn't good enough. We used to have trans people and trans institutes in the 1920s, but now everyone thinks trans people were invented in 2012 or something. Politics never ends and established trends get bucked. Ignorance only enables your enemies.
@@JustAGuyWhoLikesStuff. I follow the news like everybody else, I just don't let them making me think there are crisis everywhere all the time. That's what headlines are designed to do and it's really bad for your psyche.
It was nit only vienna, carinthia too, both are SPÖ.
I've watched hundreds of TLDR videos and am still waiting for their first video without any mistakes so I can finally give them a like
they also misspelt "Kurtz" (Kurz would be correct) but who has time for details nowadays^^
@@blubthewut1688 That’s some real dedication.
Burgenland too.
@@TheAustrianAnimations87 no Burgenland was against the law, but its SPÖ.
As an Austrian, I appreciate your chanel for not just ignoring our small Country!
Thank you!
Gewessler's vote for the nature restoration act kind of seems like a call for sobriety in a crackhouse.
As someone living in this crackhouse, I agree!
Another far right "anti-establishment" party that doesn't have a single economic anti-estabilshment position, who would have thought
Because the economy has up’s and downs, but once your countries indigenous population has gone extinct, that’s it!
@@mapache69. a yes, the most ethnically endangered population of all, the austrians. It would have figured that after producing one genocidal freak you guys would actually learn what that means woudn't it?
a ÖVP and FPÖ coalition is unlikely:
- while some ÖVP figures do sympathize with the FPÖ, most leading politicians (including Nehammer) have ruled a coalition with them out
- they likely won't have enough seats together for a coalition anyway, and there is no other party willing to enter a coalition with the FPÖ
- contrary to what is stated in the video, the ÖVP is willing to enter a coalition with the SPÖ, as leading figures from both parties have recently affirmed
- the president of austria has repeatedly stated in the past that he will not accept the FPÖ party leader as chancellor
The video only said it was ruled out in the previous elections not this one. The coalition i mean.
ÖVP and FPÖ coalition WOULD probably have a majority,
ÖVP and SPÖ wouldn't
Grüne ÖVP SPÖ or Neos ÖVP SPÖ perhaps
But no way for a ÖVP SPÖ coalition, Andreas Babler is also member of the SPÖ Left Faction with may be troublesome for a SPÖ ÖVP coalition
Hopefully FPÖ can actually get into power.
@@anythinggoes5574of course, what Austria needs the most is more nazi sympathizers 🤡
@@anythinggoes5574 If you want to go back to the 40's
Nehammer is not the actual boss, other than in germany (I think) the chancellor cannot order other government members to do stuff.
But yeah, Austrian politics was pretty crazy the last years. RIP Pilnacek.
@1:55 Actually, here in Germany coalitions between the center right CDU and the Greens are not new on a state level and can work. But I guess on a state level such a coalition is easier than on a federal level.
They'll probably form one with left in east Germany pretty soon
Yeah well at least in Baden-Württemberg the Greens are basically the same in green so to say
Just vote AfD.
Oh yes. A coalition between a party that claims its not giving into social activism and a party that pretty much is only that. You know the reason the AfD even exists in Germany is because the so called Conservative Mainstream can't even be conservative. Whenever a Centre-right party is weak or acts to Liberal there is inevitably a new right-wing alternative party to form. Germany and the UK is basically the latter while France is the Former.
@@karankapoor2701oh yes. A Conservative Party in a coalition with a Socialist party... a joke in itself which is why AfD is even possible. The CDU is a strong Centre-right party there shouldn't be a right-wing alternative party. The only reason its even a thing is because the CDU keeps failing to be Conservative.
Why is the fpo far right? Explain their policy stances and compare to a moderate right party
directly from their party program:
they explicitly state that austria is in "language, culture and history german" - there are significant non german minorities in austria, some of which, like the slovenes in carinthia, lived there for hundreds of years, even before the germans came there (and the fpö has a history in carinthia of discriminating against that slovene minority, such as attempting to ban slovene village names, only allowing german names)
no other major political party in austria advocates for that, also not the more moderate right wing ÖVP
They are the only (major) party against same sex marriage (or any other similar legal equivalent)
for example the ÖVP is generally against same sex marriage, but favors an equivalent legal arrangement, which the fpö also is against
They are way more radical on immigration than the other parties, generally advocating for no immigration whatsoever in speeches (though the wording in their party program is more vague)
They want to completely lower all sanctions on russia and send no weapons at all, while for example the ÖVP generally supports sanctions on russia, but is not very enthusiastic about sending weapons to ukraine
then there's the numerous scandals with neonazis in the party over the years, like antisemitic stuff said (for example one was caught singing a song about wanting to continue the holocaust), or people being caught owning nazi uniforms or flags, some quoting directly from "mein kampf"
and their language increasingly mirroring that of the nazis, like speaking about "kulturkampf, Volkskanzler, etc"
all in all, the party can be described as quite a bit more radical with their nationalism than the ÖVP
@telcharthegreatsmithofthef7585 neat thank you writing an essay to explain a parties political party stances so I really do appreciate you taking your time of day for that
After the not so recent election in Poland I had a lot of thoughts, on why people are woting for certain parties. In short the political parties which you feel align with your conscience, are detached form the core problems of the people, and the more fringe political parties that 5 years ago you would not event consider are talking about the core problems. We are all hearing that the far right is rising its ugly head, but no one is talking about that the mainstream parties are ignoring everyday people probles problems for higher ideas. When the mainstream party is talking about decarbonisation, and the fringe far right party is making sensible plans for afordable housing (wchich should be a point of the traditional left) people will wote for their own interest first. To summarise we should critice the fringe parties, but also hold accauntable the mainstream parties for not beeing in contact with the people, because for that reason far right and left will rise and is rising.
Because the traditionalist left (Lewica) only cares about LGBT, abortion and making a fool of themselves on Twitter
Most of Europe either has a broken Centre-right party or a Centre-right party that's governing to the left of the their traditional voter base. Because of that a right-wing alternative party forms and grows massively. For examples of the former France's Republicans are a shell of their former self and have effectively been overshadowed by a fringe nobody party due to voter defections in their weakened state, and the Tories are an example of one abandoning the whole being Conservative thing what with their latest leader being on TV celebrating Diversity and being the only member in their international party coalition to have a LGBT wing while most of their follow counterparts don't even go that far.
Can't wait for a guy that is rejected from an art school to make a new party.
you mean like the afd in germany, or the national front in france? (who argues that the collaboraters with the NSDAP were right, Marine Le Pen's dad was it's scion until recently when his views got him kicked out so that the NF could moderate itself in the eyes of the public)

Alternative title: Will people vote differently after their government completely betrayed them
0:23 don’t do this. Don’t start a graph a 5/10% rather and 0, it’s very confusing, and made me think the greens were now irrelevent rather than both minor parties having the 10% needed which added to either SPO or OVP could make a coalition. Always set your graph at 0 unless you justify it.
If it’s at 5% because of a threshold a dashed line is more than sufficient.
Incredibly sad.
Once again, please consider moving back to bar charts instead of pies. These are very unclear (in a way that you present on the screen).
I know normally people worry about the rise of the radical right for social reasons, and possibly economic reasons; but I think it's fair to argue that possible the most dangerous thing about them these days might be national security. It's clear that a lot of them are compromised by their ties to Russia; the Kremlin backs them up just as it did to the old communist parties in the Cold War (or should I say *first* Cold War, since we're evidently now in the second one). And unfortunately these new right parties are gaining a lot more traction than the old communist parties did west of the Iron Curtain.

Obviously a fair number of inaccuracies, most notably that ÖVP has ruled out to form a coalition with the FPÖ. Also that even if the FPÖ wins, the president can give the order for SPÖ and ÖVP to form a coalition. These two points make the last 2 minutes of the video mute
Politician votes for what she believes in and now the government is on fire. Why are career politicians like this?
As an Austrian, that fact that we headed to another FPÖ/ÖVP coalition is insane. Those parties are involved in so many scandles, corruption and so on. Honestly my biggest hope is, that those two screw up so bad again, that their coalition collapses

As someone from vienna we are in a tough spot, and i fully blame the rise of the right wing on the fact that left wing parties downplayed or pretended not to see the many issues mass immigration from "islamic countries" have caused, especially in some districts in vienna. And there isnt really an "alternative right wing party".
Too bad they are suckers for russian bribes, where some members of their party received some personal donations in order to vote against russian sanctions back in 2014.
The only reason far right is gaining ground in Europe is because the other parties refuse to acknowledge the immigration crisis, better yet they keep making it worse, ignoring it and calling everyone who thinks otherwise a bigot/racist, etc.
Of course the economic crisis doesn't help, but immigration is a huge concern for a large number of people in Europe
What is this 'mass immigration'? You have 7.9% if Muslims, vast majority of whom came to Austria in the 60s/ 70s from Turkey and in the 90s from BH, that's 60 and 30 ys ago respectively. These two communities also aren't known troublemakers. You Austrians just long after Adolf.

both are sulking and neither wants to do anything with the others.
1. Strache was not Vice-Chancellor when the Ibiza video was recorded since that was before the 2017 election.
2. Leonore Gewessler is not an MP, she resigned when she became a minister
3. The Green‘s support hasn’t „tanked“. They still scored 11% in the EU elections despite their scandals, which is still respectable.
4. ÖVP hasn’t ruled out a coalition with anyone except the FPÖ. They might go back on that promise as they did in Salzburg and Lower Austria but there is a consensus among the party establishment that they dont want to work with the FPÖ so a coalition is far from guaranteed
Please be more thorough with your research and analysis next time
The more I watch this channel, the more I feel like they actually put out pretty sloppily researched content. Thus far, I have always had gripes with every single video about Germany (I'm German) and I'm starting to feel like the only reason I don't have similar gripes with their other videos is that I'm unfamiliar with those other countries' political issues.

I live in Austria and I am going to leave
lolll, i thought this was about Australia for the first 5 minutes. i was so confused as to when Australia got into the EU
sorry but if u knew anything about austrian politics, u would know that the coalition arguments have nothing to do with the elections, as after the elections there will be new talks anyways and the far right was on the rise much earlier than this, in fact its a much more structural problem. the question is more if the social democrats or the right-winged extremists will win. the conservatives won't win anyways, no one likes them atm except their die hard voters. greens are quite stable. in any case the election was gonna happen in sept anyways and the cards are always mixed anew after one. - additionally, the social democrats where center left at the time, not left wing. - another fpövp coalition is unlikely, ÖVP will not be the junior partner of the FPÖ - and it is not sure that fpö+övp will even have a majority.
It all depends on whether the ÖVP has learnt even the tiniest bit
spoiler: they didn't
they'll try to repeat what has happened twice before. first they're junior parter in a coalition with the fpö, then fpö is ripped up by scanadals and they're number one in the following election. knowing the stupidity of the austrian voters that's the most likely outcome.
If you can say one thing about us austrians with certainty: we don't learn.
@@Mexalen81 Very true, unfortunately. It's so depressing...
The ÖVP didn't make a bad job under Nehammer.
"Center Right" is... generous for the ÖVP which has increasingly turned into FPÖ-light.
seems to be the trend in whole europe tbh.. center nowadays is what the usual right used to be
they even adopted the colour. they're baby-blue instead of the fpö's deep blue.

A “rogue” governor 🥲
You forget to mention that this law is highly popular among Austrians - over 80 % are in favor of this law
Exactly this - Gewessler supported a law that is supported by 82% of the Austrian popullation. Also, not only the federal state Vienna supported the law, but also carinthia.
the thing is that polls are just "do you support environment stuff". The average voter has 0 idea what this law means and what the consequences are.
Austria,France,Germany, Lol
Only one teeny tiny problem: This time the Chancellor would not be from the conservative party but from the far right party cause they are on their way to get the majority of votes. And that's even worse than conservatives + far right under conservative leadership

did they make some sort of compromise to form the coalition, like adopt the imigration policy of the övp and the enviromental one of the greens.
Yes, that's how coalitions work and you basically got it spot on.
However, especially ÖVP rarely values those compromises and manipulates them whenever they can. That has been the case since I can remember and ÖVP has been in the government since I was born some 30 years ago. When ÖVP manipulates something again or is corrupt, as always, nobody seems to care. As soon as some other party left of them does something similiar (usually not in the extend ÖVP does it), it's a huge scandal. If I were the green party, I would've quit the coalition several times already.
2:53 well that's what you get
Thank you for this video. Does anybody know the best way for English speakers to follow Austrian politics on a more regular basis?
I wonder why I even click on these videos when knowing better
A rundown on few of the mistakes:
1. A breakdown of the coalition is not in question because everybody in government has instantly ruled it out
2. The greens and the ÖVP aren't an unlikely coalition because they have long standing good relationship in the western federal states
3. Kurz didn't resign because of Ibiza and the ÖVP also doesn't blame the greens for their loss in the polls
4. Gewessler is not a "green MP" because Ministers are not part of the parliament
5. the states have only limited power over the federal policy, in very few resorts, while, and this is part of the lawsuit, the federal government still decides themselves what they are going to do at the national level
6. mentioned Vienna, but forgot Carinthia, and also didn't mention the political context (both states are government by the spö) and the timeframe of the original decision by the states (which was on a former version of the EU legislation
7. While the letter was performative, the lawsuit isn't, as that could actually annul the vote. The austrian prosecution is also irrelevant though, as this won't lead to any change at eu level and also there's a lot of precedent for ministers voting however they like, something ÖVP ministers have also done in the current government.
8. Forgot to mention that the the spö and FPÖ aren't just criticizing the leadership and calling for an end to the government (something which they do all the time), but also that FPÖ is against the decision by the green minister while the spö is pro
9. It is not surprising at all that the FPÖ is leading the polls as they were leading it before already and the ÖVP only had many FPÖ voters "on loan" because of Kurz and the scandal. If anything, this escalation with the greens is not just a Greens strategy but also ÖVP strategy to position themselves further away from the greens and more aggressively anti-ecology (they also held a "car summit" a few weeks ago), to try to convince a few FPÖ voters.
10. "Querdenker" are now totally irrelevant again (they had moderate successes with their own party on the regional level) and are not a general anti-establishement and eu-sceptic movement but specifically antivaxers during the corona pandemic
Please please please hire people who can read the news in the country language and know the political situation. Reading a script that could basically be an AI summary of a few Guardian and BBC articles is not enough.
the greens were once a left wing party but have become pretty centrist in the last decade. their coalition with the övp is therefore no surprise.

@@domenstrmsek5625 Except younger people are much more progressive.
Far right Austrians. When have they ever done anything bad?
Can you make a video about the youtuber who got elected in the eu Parlament?
'Revival' from Bulgaria 🇧🇬 and AfD in Germany 🇩🇪 will create a new group in the EU parliament!!!
How to is it possible a Green and EPP PACT.
I'd like to point out that the ÖVP sees Kickl's FPÖ as too extreme for government and, like all parties left of him, Karl Nehammer has pledged he would not enter a coalition with Kickl. If the FPÖ wins the election as current polling suggests, it may result in a government without the leading party for the first time in Austrian history.
It wouldn't be the first time in Austrian history that the largest party does not take part in government as that already happened after the 1999 election.
The ÖVP has broken such promises several times already...
Apparently there is only "center right" and "far right".
Also, left-right paradigm is a false dichotomy, trying to press complex policy ideas into a one dimensional scale
Maybe that's because the far left mostly became irrelevant in Europe over time?
What can explain
that's because modern capitalist governments are shifted to the right naturally. The left in most countries are true-center or center left, very few countries have a communist party that has any actual support.
In the USA the right wing is pretty similar to the far right and the actual far right in the US are literal neo nazis, neo-confederates, or other fascist analogs.
The left in the US is mostly center-right, and the most "extreme" left is center left, which is in line with the left wing parties in the UK or europe.
We don't have a ultra far left that has ever won a single seat in congress or in any state level government. the communist party of the US is so small that it it never mentioned even; most of our country has never even heard of it.
I do agree that the left-right paradigm is unsatisfactory for plotting out something as complex as an entire societies views. I use 8values to gauge that with most people I know, it has 4 axis which ends up with 8 sides, look it up and take the test for it. You might like that alot better.
It is indeed an oversimplification. Here in the Netherlands we rank them from left to right and from conservative to progressive. There is however a very clear correlation where left wing parties are more progressive the more left they are, and right wing parties are more conservative the more right they are. We have one party which can't be properly put on the left-right scale (the PVV) since their policies don't properly align with that spectrum, but most of their policies are right to far right.
So even though it's not perfect, it still provides an easy way to convey the general stance of a party without going into detail about every complex topic

Except Neo-Nazis and Fascists are on the Far-Left, hun ... just like the rest of the collectivist and socialist ideologues.
I clicked on this video thinking it was Australia 😭😭😭
This feels a lot less relevant by comparison, lol
Beijing-Moscow : Let's work together and divide the Nato/West/Europe.
Pudding will pull on the far-right and CiXi will pull on the far-left.
Win-Win Divide and Rule tactic... works every time if one is patient enough. :O
europe is on the brinks ugh. they should reform it and fast before it all falls apart for good.
stop expanding, start consolidating
reform what? with unanimity ruling it's impossible, period. but no one is willing to compromise anymore, thus the push to more nationalist govs in EU lately..
Hey we get the governments we deserve
I don't see any problems with that group tbh.
What's their electoral system?
The parliament consists of two chambers, the National Council ('Nationalrat') and the Federal Council ('Bundesrat'). The head of state is the directly elected president (currently a former Green). After the National Councils election, the President decides on a candidate to be chancelor (usually the head of the winning party, but doesn't have to be) and tasks him/her with forming a government. The main legislative body is the National Council, but the Federal Council (who's role is to protect the interests of the regional governments) has a pseudo-veto; meaning they can veto decisions of the National Council, but the National Council can decide on doing it anyway. The Government can be disbanded either by the president or a vote of no confidence in the National Council.

Non of that is the electoral system.
Are we talking first past the post, with single member constituencies?
Are we talking some kind of proportional representation using multiple multi-member constituencies?
Is the whole country a single constituency?
How is the votes turned into seats?
The Sainte-Laguë method?
The D'Hondt method?
The Hare quota?
I care far more about *how* people are elected into the legislative bodies then about how many you have.
Because that determines the dynamics between the political parties.
I'd you mainly have a few big ones bullying the small ones,nor does the small ones act as pretty much equals to the big ones?
Are there multiple paths towards a majority or do you keep having to figure out how to make a specific combination work because there's no other alternatives to get a majority?
Is the majority shifting through the term or is it a fixed one for the duration?
Is it enough to just not having a majority voting against you, with abstains being ignored, or do you need a majority in favour of a bill to pass it?
See what I mean?
They usually at least present if a country has proportional representation or first past the post etc.
@@Luredreier It's PR with the D'Hondt quota
What country in Europe is not in some kind of a political crisis? Bulgaria is looking likely going into another election, Germany dislike their current coalition and a gridlock between FDP and SPD is emerging especially none of them wants to compromise in fear of having more freefall in their polling numbers. The UK is in the middle of a pivotal election. France is having a chaotic snap election campaign. The Netherlands is struggling to form a government. Spain is being Spain, as usual. This is on top of the rising Far Right and extreme anti-immigrant sentiment in the continent and war in Ukraine. Then when we look at Georgia, Armenia, and Moldova, things are also looking very bad there because Russia is manipulating the situation. Like for instance, Gagauzia in Moldova is literally hijacking the country by threatening to secede and join Russia. You have Georgia passing that Foreign Agent Law that will probably aligned it more with Moscow that will probably jeopardize their EU ascension move. Then you have Armenia and whatever fxckery Turkey and Azerbaijan is planning with the blessing of Putin. It's all fxcked up.
I would rather contrast right wing with progressives than with left wings...
Yay. PR
Will it affect the price of vegemite?
Wrong country bub
Very interesting
Eye-bitha
It is no surprise a centre-right and a Green Party would fall out. Especially their these two group different worldviews.
Not necessarily. Germany as multiple states-governments with greens in the coalition and seems to be working. Maybe Austrias conservatives are more right than Germanies. Or the Greens more center than left.
Sorry but you are viewing this very monodimensionally. Greens at least here are usually the kids of ÖVP parents, that started caring about the planet. The greens arent a classical left party.
Why does every Austrian in the comments disagree with TLDR conclusion?
Because their conclusions are just wrong in a lot of ways. They friggin typo the name of Kurz in the video, mispronounce his name, mispronounce the bloody names of the parties, judge the greens as left wing (which is cutting it short massively),...
Too long...
Didn't read! 😅
TLDR videos always seem so short and 50% is just ads
My dude, its YT "journalism". First, it needs to be short sicne any deeper thoughts and analysis are outside of scope of their channels and attention span of the viewers (you also have much better dedicated channels for that). Second, you always have whats most important in the title anyway - "the message" (in this case - watch out, far right danger in another country) and in the video itself you have summary what you should think, welcome to the world of media (dont think *insert your favoirite news channel is any better).
Austria voted far right in before but the EU stopped them so expect same again
bru, I wish man
please Austria, we don't need another painter that's really good at giving speeches
Ask the industrial capital powers to not invest in them and their union busting.
What; Winston Churchill?
Yes we do
Not a painter but get ready for Orban 2: Electric Boogaloo
@@toyotaprius79 wait that's how union busting happened in Nazi Germany? I thought they just hated communists so they started going after worker rights and unions
It boggles my mind that Europeans are willingly and knowingly voting for Russian and Chinese agents. I get that immigration is the hot-button issue at the moment, but I’d consider literal imperial war to be a tad more important.
5:43 "relatively" pro-Russia?
Have you seen the policies the FPÖ is seeking. Putin couldn't write it better himself.
"Controversial law" - 83% of the austrian popluation was in support...
Not even mentioning the centrist liberal party Neos is certainly a choice... (Too much into free market for my taste, but unlike other libertarian parties, they actually live up to the classic ideal and aren't just corporate bootlickers, as they do care about actual personal freedoms (i.e. not bigotry falsely marketed as such) and providing everyone with a solid chance at a great career (instead of masses of corporate wageslaves).)
Jesus Christ, can you stop the fearmongering already with your titles and video premises?
This is the second collapsing government today that people in the country don't think is collapsing at all.
Can you guys please be a little more conservative with your choice of words for these?
In all honestly, this is turning me off from watching any of your videos altogether.
Yea, I have to agree
Same! Really enjoyed for awhile, but they’re turning themselves into their own meme. Its always Right slanted as well. How many vids on ‘Will the Tories/Sunak win the election’ vids when theyve been down for 2 years or ‘How X Left wing party is…”
So this video hast quite a few errors. First of all Kurz is written as Kurz, not Kurtz. Second of all, you forgot to mention, that the greens have 4 different judicial documents stating that its Leonore Gewesslers right to vote on the ERL. Third of all, Kurz resigned because he used taxmoney to influence public opinion. If these are the mistakes in a video about a topic I know a lot about, how can I trust that your videos are well researched?
porps an the "Querdenker" pronounciation :)
"the centre-right OVP"
Ironic, these are the fascists that voted against Romania and Bulgaria's entry into the Schengen Area
Awesome. Better off with Italy Pietro Boselli Italian Thomas. FPO actually win Austrian Chancellor yes. Labour party win UK general election Art Bezrukaveko deliver it. 🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹.
You should make a video about definition of "far-right" because in my opinion you get it wrong. If right wing is pro decentralization, deregulation, free market, lessez-fair and nationalism, far right should be even more for this. In reality so called center right or right wing parties (cdu, renew etc.) are not even slightly for this rigt wing values. And the so called "far-right" are just for nationalism and slightly for right wing ideas often mixed with a lot of socialist left wing programs like RN in France.
It is interesting that Belgium has essentially made every government minister in Europe simultaneously a plenipotentiary. This is probably opening a Pandora’s box if more and more minority partners in coalition governments just start voting however they want and accepting that a few of their members will be expelled from government as a price of advancing their parties interests to rally their base.
FPÖ leading the polls! 🇦🇹 👏
