With the austrian Election-campaigns starting, I thought I could jump on the bandwagon and create one of these posts. (Election is in October)
I'd like to see if anyone here does know something about austrian politics/parties. So please tell me your opinion and who you would possibly vote for!
(Personally I am a registered member of the Social Democratic Party SPÖ)
For people who have no idea I'll give a brief description for the possible choices.
Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ)
Self-Explanatory, even though its the most leftist party of the ones actually having a chance of changing something, they are very centrist.
Austrian Peoples Party (ÖVP)
Conservative party, but they had a change in leadership and their current values arent very transparent.
Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ)
National Conservatives/Right Wing Populists
The Greens (G)
Green Party, On Federal Layer Centre-Leftish on a state layer its not unitary.
NEOs (NEO)
New Centrist Market and Social Liberal Party, something along Macron lines.
Black-Yellow Alliance (SGA)
Monarchist Restoration Party, Fiscally social-democatic and Socially like the ÖVP.
Pirate Party of Austria (PPÖ)
They do not really know themselves what they stand for. Some say they are the new social-democrats.
Communist Party of Austria (KPÖ)
Not Really Communist, more like "Die Linke" in germany.
Liste Pilz (Independent)
Former Green Party Leadership, very left-wing called himself a communist a while ago. But he appeals to many people since he is independent.
Edit: Sorry for the inconvience had to add Team Stronach. #payback4Reddy
Team Stronach (TS)
Market Liberals with a rather conservative social standing.
