Particracy Forum

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.

That is what I like to hear <3

National Liberalism uber alles!

You take me out of the Spanish parties and I don't really know what to choose hahaha

I would probably vote for the SPÖ, KPÖ or The Greens... I would have to learn more about them

I'd vote FPÖ. I bet you wouldn't have guessed.

Funny enough that most people who vote for the FPÖ were former SPÖ voters. Always laugh at that fact, I think there is a similar Labour->UKIP relation, or there was one.

I'm not Austrian but Black and Yellow all day!
