So what are the main problems in Austria besides the refugee situation that has made the people so unhappy and looking for quick fixes ?
the refugee situation isnt as bad as media and certain parties make it seem. other than that, the economy crisis hit austria way later than many other countries, so now unemployment has risen. but in the end i guess theres not too many countries where people actually have it better than here. but that wont stop them from complaining, and with this whole refugee mess it became pretty easy to find somebody to blame.
Beat me to it. If you're familiar with politics in the area, this is very much the case. And another thing-- Monty you cant complain about a poll not portraying an accurate statistic of a country and then say that you believe in the voters. Only a percentage of the population votes and it could be argued that that percentage skews older (definitely the case in the US, I can't account for Europe.) But it's bullshit to be operating out of fear and hypothetical situations.
About 85% voted in the 2014 Swedish election so I kind of think its a fair representation of peoples views compared to a study paid by amnesty that people can answer anonymously
Media said about 70+ % will vote in the Austrian election . If its that high I do believe its a accurate representation of what people want and dont want in a election
I dont know anything really about the situation in Austria or if the guy who might win is far right wing . But it is quite worrying if he is far right and got this far . Same with those far right parties that Germany has . Germany and Austria has a troubled history with far right parties so its quite worrying that they are getting so many votes
If you do wanna believe in polls you can look at the Swedish democrats who started of as a joke with not enough votes to join the government , then the next election they got into the government , after that they have been growing and growing . And if you do wanna belive in polls they are now the third biggest party in sweden with 15-20 %
unless things change in Sweden they will be one of the major powers in the next goverment / election in 2018
Refugee / immigration / integration is a BIG question now in Sweden . Theres news articles everyday about people with foreign background throwing rocks at buses , trains , police , EMTs , Fire department and civilians . And people getting shot and stabbed almost everyday.
They set fire to cars and when the fire department arrives they get attacked , then police get there and they get attacked
