  1. How is it insane when 70% of people didn't vote for them? That's why having a majority is so important.

  2. Bro, far left is Communism, since when does DW advocate for Communism?

  3. The FPO was in power before this is nothing new. Still, 29% is very far from a majority.

  4. Then they would have 95% of the vote or something. 😄

  5.  @yarpen26  Because there aren't currently many relevant far left parties, they're all marginal in expression and results. We live in a capitalistic world, in order to be truly far left you'd need to demolish the current system.

  6. It doesn't though, the reason is arbitrary.

  7. You are lucky that DW even covers India since the vast majority of Europeans couldn't care less about what happens there

  8.  @HamzaalAbbasi  As much as we care about the opinions of Indians about European politics.

  9. If that were the case these kinds of parties would win the elections with 95% not just 29%.

  10. That's because far left parties have barely any power in Europe

  11.  @d4mterro320  Yes, by American standards all European countries are left-wing.

  12. With 29%?

  13.  @jimmychalmers8733  It depends on the negotiations that will follow

  14. Ideologies don't change names depending on how many people vote for them.

  15. ​ @Mr.Vandalia Far in terms of ideology. So what, a Communist party winning an election would cease to be far left because many people voted for them? Tell me about it...

  16.  @Frankabagnale33  Uh? Neoliberalism and Marxism are totally at odds. Neoliberalism is a super capitalist ideology which advocates for the least possible intervention of the State on the economy and Marxism is basically Communism and thus its opposite.

  17.  @KevinLance-ne3to  Almost all European countries have public health systems, a great deal of free education, paid vacations, abortion rights and gun control laws put in place. These items alone are enough to put them firmly on the left by American standards.

  18.  @besg5725  Why not?

  19. Nationalists advocating for a merge with another country would be the weirdest thing ever. So much for the Austrian identity. 😂

  20. ​ @Gigachad-dv8pu Ask the population first maybe. But I see no advantage in a supposed merging tbh. I think Austria benefits much more from being a sovereign country than just another German state.
