Three parties have reached a deal to form a new centrist Austrian government, two weeks after a far-right party that won an election in September failed to put together 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.
