I've Been Thinking:

According to the results of a new vote in Austria, one third of all voters have cast their support behind parties that are far to the right.
This is significant.

18% voted for the Freedom Party.
11% voted for the Alliance for the Future of Austria Party.
That means 29% of Austrians have aligned themselves with the far right.
In the past extreme right wing parties have not cooperated.

The vote itself was historic in many ways.
This is the first time 16 year olds were permitted to go to the polls and cast a ballot for the 183 seats that were up for grabs in this Austrian election.

Austria has approached a crossroad.
Austria has a history of embracing extremism as a response to economic crisis. We should watch and observe as Austria confronts its future.
