Austria elects a millennial immigration hard-liner in the race for Austria’s Chancellorship:
Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz declared victory on Sunday in the race to become Austria’s chancellor, becoming the youngest head of state in the West. The 31-year-old Kurz and the center-right People’s Party defeated the Social Democratic Party, which was the largest party in the Austrian parliament before Sunday.
Austria – a nation with about the same population as Minnesota and the Dakotas put together – has been on the front line of Europe’s immigration crisis. The rise of the Austrian Volkspartei (Peoples Party) – which is called “far right”,- is not uncoincident with the rise of Trump in the US, and other parties that are demanding a very un-Euro, un-“progressive” approach to immigration in time of anti-western extremism.
(Here’s a take from the center-right German ˆFrankfurter Allgemeineˆ)
How un-democratic for the people to think they know better than their progressive leaders. Something should be done about that.
Hilarious title!! Wouldn’t look as good on a hat though.
The EU cramming multiculturalism down the throats of low GDP economies. It’s such a joke for the Ruling Class expect the peons to just stop experiencing the predictable social strife.

One thing we should learn about this – there was a high (>80%) turnout.
Historically, Austria grew not by conquest, but rather by the marriages of the ruling family. So all the new Kanzler has to do to Make Austria Great Again is to marry his girlfriend.
