In Austria the Freedom Party (FPO) consisting of Austria-First populists, has won the largest vote of support from the electorate. However, just like Germany, France and the Netherlands, the lesser parties within current government have pledged to unite and form a government against the largest bloc.
The election platform of the Freedom Party was called “Fortress Austria,” outlining popular positions: strict border controls, deportation of “uninvited foreigners,” the end to sanctions against Russia, the end of military aid to Ukraine, and to walk away from the European Sky Shield Initiative, a missile defense project launched by Germany.
The overall positions are pragmatic and popular. The proposed moderate energy policies would likely drop prices. The Freedom Party is led by Herbert Kickl, who has pledged a more pragmatic form of government, while criticizing the elites in Brussels. The Freedom Party won the largest support bloc in the election with 29.1 percent of the vote. The media immediately labeled them “far-right.”
In the USA two parties represent the republican form of government; they unite on policy and we have a UniParty outcome. In many nations throughout Europe, within the parliamentary process that structures government, they have an assembly parties that similarly unite and block the insurgency of the major party.
The Austrian People’s Party and the Social Democrats have agreed to unite and stop the Austria-First Freedom Party from forming a government. They refuse to allow the nation to be led by Herbert Kickl. As a consequence, the largest party in Austria, the party with the most popular positions and the greatest number of votes, will be blocked from governing.
Austria’s Freedom Party, which the fake news calls “far-right” just caused a major earthquake in Europe by WINNING the country’s general election after campaigning on mass deportation and cracking down on illegal immigration

(Via The Guardian) – […] Turnout was high at about 78%.
Profiting from a rightwing surge in many parts of Europe and taking Hungary’s Viktor Orbán as a model, the FPÖ capitalised on fears around migration, asylum and crime heightened by the August cancellation of three Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna over an alleged Islamist terror plot. Mounting inflation, tepid economic growth and lingering resentment over strict government measures during Covid dovetailed into a huge leap in support for the FPÖ since the last election in 2019.
Its polarising lead candidate, Herbert Kickl, who campaigned using the “people’s chancellor” moniker once used to describe the Austrian-born Adolf Hitler, said he was ready to form a government with “each and every one” of the parties in parliament.
“We have written a piece of history together today,” he told cheering party supporters in Vienna. “We have opened a door to a new era.”
“We don’t need to change our position, because we have always said that we’re ready to lead a government, we’re ready to push forward this change in Austria side by side with the people,” Kickl said in an appearance alongside other party leaders on ORF public television. “The other parties should ask themselves where they stand on democracy,” he added, arguing that they should “sleep on the result”.
Nehammer called the result, which will send shock waves through Europe, “bitter” while his defence minister, Klaudia Tanner, admitted the debacle for the governing parties was a “wake-up call”.
Because it failed to win an absolute majority, the FPÖ will need a partner to govern. Unlike the other centrist parties, the ÖVP has not ruled out cooperating with the far right in the next government, as it has twice in the past in taboo-breaking alliances at the national level.
Nehammer, however, repeated on Sunday that a scenario in which Kickl, a former hardline interior minister, became chancellor was a non-starter, setting up a potential showdown in which the FPÖ would have to either jettison Kickl or take a backseat in government to win the ÖVP’s support. (read more)
The grand pendulum will keep swinging rightward now.
Fundamental political physics, that Globalists cannot stop.
This is truth. I am grateful, so very grateful for this confirmation of human nature.
Voting our way out of this mess isn’t working anymore.
Unfortunately, I don’t see another solution that can be tried before a collapse of the system. Any attempt to take back the country by force would be met by overwhelming force.
The best hope right now is to pray, vote and volunteer.
The Poles showed you the solution in the 1980s.
It worked then, and it is working now. Slowly, but surely.
Decades will first pass like days, unchanged. And then decades will suddenly happen in days.
Brighten up!
Ron Reagan won overwhelming victories here in the 1980s.
The 1980s are history and the world is not the same now.
The global elite did not have full control over the media back then, plus there was no internet. But now they do and the People are seen universally across western nations as a problematic rabble that must be controlled, propagandized, and coerced into compliance.
Now, the European NWO totalitarians (EU leadership) are censoring dissent and importing third world slaves to their plantations. Absent First and Second Amendment rights that Americans have, Europeans have only mass protests and uprisings to counter the elites.
At the moment, I like our chances better than the freedom-seeking Europeans.Their parliamentary systems seem designed to keep political divisions strong and prevent a majority of the people from truly winning control of government.
It’s the ranked choice governing system at its worst.
“The global elite did not have full control over the media back then, plus there was no internet. But now they do”
No they don’t. You are reading this on media. The new media. The media people trust.
Excuse my imprecise wording.
The LEGACY media.
What overwhelming force? Please give a detailed description.
As ppl revolution on Dec.1989 in the ……R O M A N I A !!!!!!! Chuck…
I agree.
Not with the widespread hackable Dominion Voting machines in use! JMO
Especially when corrupt people in corrupt states lie, cheat and steal elections.
Seems all countries have a Uniparty, bought and paid for.
Kickl them to the curb.
Apparently cultural suicide is overrated.
The globalists have put the world at the tipping point. One major event could trigger events which they may regret beyond their comprehension. Or maybe that is exactly their plan.
They would rather rule over ashes and rubble than allow the people to have any say.
Not just any people but those who practice the fear of God. To them we are the target to eliminate. It’s been the way of all communist takeovers. They fear us for a reason, which is why they invented Darwinism and “science” to confuse and divide us.
Good news this certainly is. We’ll take it.
But the best which can be hoped for at this point is that the Freedom Party can be a destabilising, painful thorn in the side of the eventual governing coalition.
Every European country signed their death warrants when they joined the EU. A view we took on the night of the grand celebrations. And though we hoped we were wrong, since then there has been nothing which has cause us to change our minds.
Much like Germany, France and DJT, they aren’t going to let these people take power.
This is a mad-dash to cause as much damage as possible before they simply can’t keep patriots out of power any longer.
They are willing to burn it all down to keep power. Pray and prepare accordingly.
The people outnumber them. The people provide the services, food, trash collections, as Sundance says target areas and stop all work.
Outnumbering is irrelevant. Employees outnumber the business owner too but don’t carry the weight and leverage he does. The most likely outcome of a populist uprising is a stalemate with a collapse of essential services. The public has no appetite for that and will long for enslavement once again (read Exodus). It’s a battle of light vs dark but the winners don’t find true victory this side of the grave.
So its the same as our last election where two parties united to make sure President Trump was not able to show what truly happened regarding the election, thereby refusing the winning party from taking office.
Yes, of course. So a whole bunch of us have spent four years learning to work with the parties where possible, but mostly working around them, to set things up where we can see and highlight the fraud and demand justice. The least everyone else can do is vote, and support and encourage the work to make elections honest again!
Notice that the “conservative” party leader immediately ruled out any coalition with the Freedom Party. As usual in America and Europe the “Conservatives” are worse than useless.
Their political structure includes a built-in “splitter strategy” feature. Several parties, each specializing in some individual issue, all unite against the people when necessary for defense of what they really stand for. Thereby demonstrating that only two parties are really present, Them and Us. If you don’t know who is for Us, proven in word and deed, then it’s only Them.
30% of the country agrees with you and yet they call the party far-right. The media will never get tired of this moniker.
Anything to the right of Brussels is too far in their minds.
Of course they didn’t plan the global awakening.
In their bubble where they breathe in massive amounts of hubris as the rest of us inhale air, I’m sure they thought we’d just come along quietly.
The “viscerally repulsive” John Kerry let the cat out of the bag at the WEF as far as the reason we are not…freedom of speech is an impediment to the “elites'” goal of global governance. Scratch that….global despotism. That has always been their end game.
Next up, disarming all those recalcitrant subjects who can see exactly what is going on.
I read this article yesterday, and I hope others will as well. The author thinks you are right, js. Those who thought it would be a piece of cake to enslave us because they themselves are so brilliant have had a few rude awakenings and are discovering that while they may propose, Almighty God disposes.
Hubris is deadly. For those who are riddled with it and, unfortunately, for those who get in its way. I ‘m praying with you as the years ahead unfold 🙏🏻

‘Anything to subvert the will of the people,’ is the calling card of the globalist left. And their tactics are numbingly familiar:
When the son of African immigrants murders little English girls in their dance class, use the courts and the police to send the outraged citizens of the town it happened in to prison for fomenting violence.
When Telegram refuses to censor its users, arrest Telegram’s CEO, Pavel Durov and charge him with the ‘crime’ of failing to monitor the shopworn trio of ‘mis-dis-mal’ information on his platform.
Now this headline today from ‘the far-left’ Wall Street Journal should be all too familiar to those of outraged by the Dems lawfare against Trump:
“PARIS—Marine Le Pen and dozens of other members of National Rally stand trial on Monday on charges of misusing European funds, a case that risks disrupting the French politician’s efforts to carry her far-right party into the political mainstream…
Le Pen has dismissed the allegations as an attempt to thwart National Rally when its influence is growing.
For the first time in its decadeslong history, National Rally became the single biggest party in France’s National Assembly…”
