"FAR-RIGHT" TAKES LEAD IN AUSTRIA PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION RE-RUN
The far-right candidate for the Austrian presidency has widened his lead ahead of a re-run of the race that saw him narrowly defeated in April.
Norbert Hofer, of the Freedom Party, a right-populist group with an anti-immigrant, Euroskeptic platform, was defeated in the April 24 presidential election by the independent Green-supported candidate, Alexander Van der Bellen, by just 31,000 votes.
His party appealed the result and Austria’s High Court decided to overturn it, finding that sloppiness in the count, while not deliberate, could have affected the result. The vote is now to be repeated in October.
A Gallup poll published in Austria on Sunday showed the midpoint of the wide range of support for Hofer at 52 percent—one point higher than a poll in early July—versus 48 percent for Van der Bellen.
Hofer’s April defeat sparked widespread relief across Europe. His victory would mark a significant moment in the advance of populism across EU member states. In the wake of Brexit, it would be seen as another defeat for the European political establishment.
Hofer would also be the first far-right head of state of an EU nation.
Analysis after April’s vote showed deep divisions within the Austrian electorate, with urban, educated voters overwhelmingly backing Van der Bellen, and manual workers and rural voters plumping for Hofer.
It's not a surprise, many people are fed up with the leftwing-bullshit from the government here. Unlike germany we actually have a problem with refugees raping our families.
Colton Parker
Do you think people will vote differently this time or just about the same?
Eli Morgan
We're off to a good start lads. If anyone has the pics on why the election was a sham feel free to post. I know for one that antifa was allowed to count the votes
Kevin Butler
Österreich is best reich
Lucas Bailey
I really can't tell it. It will likely get very close again, but the general mood in the country is pretty tense. Especially after the Terror-attacks in germany and france.
Brody Taylor
SECOND AUSTRO-HUNGARY EMPIRE SOON
Michael Cruz
cheeky cunts thought they could rig the election
shame they are ON THE WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY
Xavier Murphy
Does he really walk around with a cane?
Robert Perez
HIGH ENERGY HOFER
Kevin Butler
Yes he had a paragliding-accident and it was assumed he would be forever >>>/hotwheels/
Evan Garcia
Checking all of these beautiful dubs. Austria being the next country to break free from soc-dem bullshit is incoming…
Cooper Taylor
Never ending reich when?
Noah Stewart
Soon
Hunter Gonzalez
When are the election results?
Benjamin Foster
The election isn't till October, user. They'll come when they come.
Vote is at the end of october if I remember correctly
Eli Barnes
They will vote the same and the right will win. You seem to forget the reson there are new elections is because the last ones were fraudulent as fuck.
Adrian Hughes
Better start hoping for a few happening to sway the minds of a few 'educated' faggots
Camden Harris
Just realized how few I actually have
Grayson Butler
Godspeed Austria. 2016 will be an unbelivable year if we can meme Brexit, Trump and Hofer victories into existence.
The Trump victory will be a difficult fight but we're trying as hard as we can in burgerland. Don't let us down Austria because the acronym MAGA works for both our countries.
Logan Perry
We will, user! We will make it happen!
Matthew Morris
Come on austria, id love to see the eu shit themselves over this.
Didnt the eu introduce a law banning far right groups from taking power?
Joseph Rivera
>Hofer would also be the first far-right head of state of an EU nation.
What does that term even mean? You could be a feminist, a pro-LGBTQQIP, an environmentalist, a socialist, but if you're against mass immigration OMG! YOU'RE A FARRIGHTEXTREMIST!!! That's pretty much the only criteria for that label. 'Far-right' is just a stupid label that means Evil in Newspeak. I'm glad the austrians are ignoring all this bullshit.
Brexit, Hofer, Trump, Le Pen.
Jaxson Peterson
Far-right is basically another buzzword when a libshit media (((journalist))) uses it. A hofer victory is still great for Austria though.
Checking those dubs.
Jace Ortiz
...
Gavin Powell
Technically the FPÖ is far-right, compared to the other partys. Next one would be ÖVP but they are political mid at best also they only suck SPÖ (liberal) cock since atleast 15-20 years
Jack Rivera
bump
Blake Hughes
Nah that was a joke with antifa counting the votes.
Samuel Hall
Good for him, still can't take the Glock tacticool bandwagon serious. People would rather buy a glock than a handgun that suits their need, because "everyone has one".
Justin Lopez
of course an Austrian would want a grossGLOCKner
Sebastian Hill
yeah it's cool, nobody knows you're completely full of shit.
Jordan Cook
Good luck mein friends
Zachary Lewis
Wait German has a capital SS?
Mason Carter
ja
Nathan Thomas
HC Strache is the real leader and high energy as they come.
Levi Stewart
I really can't predict the way this will swing, as an Austrian. On one hand nobody will even try to manipulate the election out of fear they'll have to do it all again, so that's of course a plus for Hofer. Also the recent terror attacks help his cause. Then there's the fact that Van der Bellen showed a hint of his real powerlevel in his first speech the day after the election, which will certainly pull some people to Hofers side who were right on the fence. On the other hand, never underestimate the power of cuckoldry.
Nathaniel Sanders

You faggots were the one who refused to do your duty and just waved them all through to us. If we were living in a just world there would be a reckoning for that, be glad we're not.
Jackson Young
Pablo, you need to step your game up.
Lucas Peterson
Its the same day as when Hungary votes on whether they should keep EU migrant quotas.
It is going to be a good day.
GOOD LUCK HOFER!
Colton Nelson
Our police neither had the manpower nor the order nor the needed weaponry to keep the subhumans out. And even if we did the German government would just cry that they didn't get the human trash they ordered.
Alexander Gray
It will be a wonderful day. Shit, October to November will be a wonderful period overall! Kek wills it.
Leo James
I'll remember how you treated your kin, even if no one else will. It might not mean much to you now, but be sure of it.
Levi Nguyen
This is the level of mental gymnastics you're on now.
Isaac Parker
You're glad your government let them through to us so you don't have to deal with them, with makes you implicatively supportive of your government's actions
Ian Gutierrez
Which is complete bullshit because we never had any say in it anyway. We also wouldn't need to deal with them because they want to Germany or maybe Sweden, nothing else. They were already past the point of no return the moment they reached Austria, Merkel was in control of the situation for a brief moment and she decided Germany could pull off a humanitarian miracle and wanted to import millions of shitskins. That is all this was about. What exactly is it you expect from Austria, then? Letting them starve on our border for a week until Germany kicks our shit in for not letting those poor refugees through? They would fly these people in with fucking private jets if they had to. How autistic are you? We have no holy duty to save Germany from itself.
Ryan King
Which is exactly your obligation, Merkel breaking the rules doesn't exempt you from the Lisbon Treaty
Wyatt Hernandez
The fucking Treaty of Lisbon, right? Pushed by the same EU that got us into this situation by failing to secure its borders in the first place? Fuck off.
Adam Stewart
Left & Right are pretty much meaningless terms. Nationalism/Sovereignty Vs Anti-Nationalism/Globalism is the real distinction and the extremists are those who want to destroy western nations by abolishing borders + mass immigration.
Henry Carter
m'good sir
Tyler Moore
for off topic
Hudson Johnson
How is this sliding so far down.
David Morales
I'm quite surprised so few people care about this. Fucking Hitler was Austrian for fucks sake.
Charles Long
Green Party is still going to win bc of great concern about the Great Barrier Reef
Jacob Russell

cut that shit out
Hunter Long
There's nothing "far-right" about this guy. He wanted Britain to remain in the EU and wants Austria to do the same. He's still better than the alternative and anything else on offer.
Luis Diaz
Well he IS a continental…
Mason Rodriguez
Fucking continentals tbh. Yanks and non-Europeans actually think Britain and Europe have a lot in common. Our attitude to things is so much different, we might as well be from a different planet.
Liam Fisher
Why would that be bad?
Jackson White
OY VEY Don't be a bigoted far-right populist nazi, goy.
Easton Johnson
I have a secret to tell you user… I am an American >=^]
Im just not a sperg who wants le ebin white superstate.
Oliver Carter
Yeah, it's pretty silly to label half of the country far-right. Where exactly is the center, then?
Leo Lee
Liezen.
Lincoln Gray
Yeah it really bothers me when Yanks, unlike yourself, advocate for a united Europe despite the different ethnic groups having about as much in common as a Samurai and a Zulu.
Jace Murphy
I've literally never seen one person on Holla Forums advocate for a European superstate, so I really don't get the constant Euro whining about "out of touch Yanks" calling for a pan-European state.
Nathan King
Enjoying your first day, then?
Connor Ramirez
Part of the reason there's not much interest from the U.S. is our media does not cover European politics to any significant degree - especially when there's an evil Hitler clone in the lead. Even reporting on the guy would give him credibility and that is to be avoided.
Michael Bennett
I'm not a Euro. It's insulting to group Britain in with the Europeans simply because we're close to one another.
Christian Jenkins
I don't go to Brit/pol/, so maybe that's where it is, but I've been here for a fair bit and I've only ever seen anons complaining about pan-Europeanism. I've never seen anyone even advocate it, let alone argue for it.
Post a cap, if you have one, or an archive, but I'll be surprised if you can.
Alexander Carter
Britain is in Europe though, geographically. That's like saying Ireland isn't in Europe.
Adam Wright
I'm talking about Holla Forums, not a luke-warm rightest who thinks Hapas are great.
Also, like it or not Britain's part of the same continent, so you're going to geographically be grouped there. If you want to talk culturally you can say "Anglosphere" but in terms of complaint about pan-Europeanism I feel perfectly at ease lumping Bongs in with the other Euros.
Wyatt Edwards
I would imagine, because even if you take a single country and the smaller ethnic groups they have (or had), it took centuries to even out the differences, and even then at what cost? You cant really put a price on cultural uniqueness. I find it odd how the idea of culture goes over the heads of some people considering this whole thing we have going on here is preserving culture against globalism.
Cooper Carter
It's mainly just this sentiment that Europeans can be grouped up in the same way Yanks are in their states because we're all white. It's nonsense tbh. The Poles that come here are comparable to the Mexican illegals in America, and they mostly have to go back tbh lad.
Henry Lopez
Geographically yes but the culture and general attitudes of the people are extraordinarily different.
Some people are just concerned with skin colour and not self determination and ethnic/cultural preservation.
Jackson Torres
I live in Scotland.
Elijah Young
...
Tyler Diaz
That's disappointing to know.
Gavin Kelly
I wouldn't lose hope over it. In the same way Trump is more of a centrist-leaning-right, it's still better than anything Austria or the US has had before.
Dominic Allen
My parents are from Cardiff, my point is Britain is in Europe, I don't care how culturally different we are from everybody else. Northern Canada is extremely culturally different from the USA and Mexico, but they're still apart of North America regardless.
Logan Murphy
You can be grouped like that though. You're all white. That's like saying that "X isn't human, he's a German!" It's all about groups within groups, and Germans, Frenchmen, Poles, Brits, and whatever else are all white. That doesn't preclude them from being something more specific anymore than belonging to a specific family prevents you from being a certain nationality.
If you mean physically grouped, that's a different issue. Hypothetically you could be (with a lot of conflict and bloodshed) just like ancient tribes were all assimilated into modern nations, but advocating that is another matter.
Really though, your problem in Europe is lebensraum, because you have shit-all land, and so long as you do there will never be a European superpower besides the US or Russia. As long as you guys are content to play second-fiddle to them that's fine, but if you don't you have to find some way of actually gaining power for yourselves.
Disclaimer: I'm playing Devil's advocate. Attitudes and cultures can be changed. That's how modern nations got here in the first place, and you'd be a fool to pretend any European nation is ethnically homogeneous, let alone Britain. How much difference is there between a union of Scots and English and a union of Brits and Frenchmen? It's really only a matter of scale. That would obviously end up with a destruction in culture, so it's really just a matter of where you Euros are comfortable drawing the line. Hell, if the empire was authoritarian enough there wouldn't even need to be a mixing of culture.
I'm from New Zealand.
Benjamin Brown
Ah, but Britain is an island off the coast of Europe. That comparison is flawed. I was just joking lad. Welshlads are based tbh.
John Parker
His homeland will make him proud I'm sure
Cooper Long
wtf how do u have internet?????
Brandon Price
Surprisingly enough, South Angleland has some of the best internet in the world. One of the few things our government sees fit to spend money on. Most major cities are getting fiber put in, and even buttfuck nowhere sites in the country have it.
Oh my god, there's actually way more than 4. This is bad.
Jack Long
wrong thread
Christopher Martinez
Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of Poles living in Britain who refuse to learn English and work for 1/10th the wages of local workers. I hope there isn't a European superpower because it would involve destroying the ethnic and cultural identity of the unique European civilisations.
Elijah Myers
>tfw 3.5mbps download >tfw had 350kbps until a few years ago
Elijah Robinson
That's a horrible idea and the exact opposite of nationalism.
Dylan Lee
As I said, it would take a lot of pain and bloodshed, which modern Europeans across the globe are currently unwilling to endure.
Plus I have no doubt Poland is sending you the worst of their society.
It would, unless you somehow discovered huge amounts of new land. That or if ocean-floor usage became feasible.
Again, I was playing Devil's advocate. I'm not saying you should, I'm just saying it's neither impossible nor unprecedented. If you can force a Welshman to become a Brit you can probably force a Brit to become a Euro.
The costs would probably outweigh the benefits though. My preferred solution is cleansing the nonwhite world instead and opening up all that land for colonization.
I honestly wouldn't mind being a patriotic citizen of a powerful British Empire again.
>tfw I've had 30Mbps internet for almost a decade now Anyway, mateys, I've got to go now.

Luke Gomez
ASIA FOR THE ASIANS, AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS, WHITE COUNTRIES FOR EVERYBODY!
Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.
The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.
Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.
What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?
How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?
And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?
But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.
Thomas Martin
Funny how people suddenly become experts on guns and gun culture the moment they know slightly more than the average Joe. You literally don't know what you're talking about.
Jeremiah Brown
What kind of German Nationalist are you then?
You bought in to post-versailles and post-WWII propaganda of an "austrian civic patriotism" or what?
Your ethnicity is German, as German as we Bavarians are.
Leo White
Main difference is the "low skill equilibrium", due to liberalized job market in UK, british workers have no loyality to their businesses either, so companies try to minimize any education given to their workers, as any added education would likely just mean the workers goes elsewhere with that skill to earn more money, hence britain looks like a dump, and locals are increasingly low class chavs.
Greetings form the continent.

You sir, are a class-A Kike
Angel Moore
Yeah, right. Don't you know the extent of those kikes' chutzpah? Also, consider the situation. Hofer already won the first election and they had to deploy massive vote counting fraud to cover it. Due to happenings he can only get more lead in the re-run. They have no other way to stop him than to fraud harder next time. Well, they can also assassinate him. But after Haider that could be just too much of a (((coincidence))) even for the normies to stomach.

Its always funny that there is such a huge wave that the right is idiotic when the left don't even consider any ramifications of their policies or if they do they think the problems are positive While the Right deal with these problems and get to know about them extensively, and that's part of why Trump is doing so well because they never considered we'd be intellectual competition let alone superiors And that's why we're winning the meme war
