This is significant. It proves the people are getting more, and more fed up with immigration.....which is predominantly single muslim men.

Those men are generally unskilled, go straight on to welfare, etc.

But they also rape the local women, and a few commit violent acts of terror.

Why would anybody in their right minds, want such new neighbors?

Austria election RESULTS: Eurosceptics poised to celebrate in nightmare for Brussels
Sunday UK Express, Oct 15, 2017

SEBASTIAN Kurz is expected to clinch victory in the Austria elections, according to the latest projections, which could see him form an alliance with the far right in a crushing blow for the European Union.

The People’s Party (OVP) got 30.2 per cent of the vote, according to Austrian news channel ORF. 

Mr Kurz's party is tough on migration, easy on taxes and widely Eurosceptic after rebranding itself over the last few months to propel its popularity in the wealthy Alpine nation.

It is expected to form a coalition with the right-wing populist Freedom party (FPO), who got 26.8 per cent of the vote, according to the exit poll.

Meanwhile, the Social Democratic Party, the largest party in the last government, are in third place with 26.3 per cent.

That's why I posted- it's not on any US wires yet, but all over the European ones. I can't imagine why it's not on the US wires now.

Rising nationalist tide in Austria
American Thinker, Oct 15, 2017, Rick Moran

The flood of refugees that rolled over Europe in 2015 affected Austria more than any other country except its neighbor Germany. Today, Austrians go to the polls in parliamentary elections that could elevate a 31 year old nationalist to the chancellorship.

Sebastian Kurz, the charismatic leader of the Austrian People's Party (OVP) left the coalition government with the Social Democrats when he was elevated to the party's top spot last May. The cause of the split was the ongoing debate over refugees in Austria, who have put a huge drain on government resources.

Austria is a conservative Catholic country and it's politics has been dominated by right of center parties since the end of World War II. But the tide of nationalism that has swept Europe has brought to the fore not only the OVP, but also the far right Freedom Party (FPO), which is also set to make large gains in the election.

It's not on the wires because the American MSM would have to report on an Austria First victory.   ^-^

She probably would if she could....but building a governing coalition just got tougher.  http://www.dw.com/en/angela-merkels-conservatives-in-lower-saxony-cant-top-social-democrats-in-state-election/a-40959825

In my mind a picture from the past still remains. At the time, I remarked it was the most beautiful place I had ever seen. Along the border region of Austria and Italy in the mountains. Between Innsbruck and Bolzano.

Kurz' party is right-of-center, but to govern he will form a coalition with the far-right "Freedom" Party, giving the latter more recognition and power than it has yet had.

I've posted numerous times in this forum:
If Western Europe is to be saved from islam, it will be the far-right parties that do the saving. They're the only ones who will not only campaign on the issue of muslims in Europe, but will actually try to do something about them.

I don't care how far right they are. I don't even care if they find it necessary to resort to quasi-authoritarian methods to reach their goals.

If that goal is to once again save Western Europe and Western civilization through the expulsion of the muslims there, then the ends justify the means.

I make no apologies for saying this and don't give a whit regarding derogatory comments from others here. Water off the duck's back to me.

Remember that Europe DID THIS once before.
If they are to survive, they must do it once more.

Being the youngest world leader is not what is significant.

Being a conservative who embraces the end of open-ended immigration, however, certainly is.

If Europe is to survive, ti will have to do what it has to do. European policy made this situation, European policy will have to rectify it.
