SEBASTIAN Kurz has declared victory in the Austrian elections following the latest vote projections, which could see him form an alliance with the far-right in a crushing blow for the European Union.
Mr Kurz's party is tough on migration, easy on taxes and widely Eurosceptic after rebranding itself over the last few months to propel its popularity in the wealthy Alpine nation.
Mr Kurz was one of the backers of the recent law imposed in Austria banning the burka.


"Mr. Kurz shown with his partner."

What are your thoughts on the recent wave of anti-EU nationalism, Russian? I know that has to lead to some complications in international finance.

This dude is considered "far-right" meaning he believes "people who come to Austria should assimilate". How dare any Austrian believe Austria should even exist in 40 years?

"Far Right" in European left-speak means believing "maybe we shouldn't surrender the entire continent to the caliphate".

My thoughts are it's going to be very interesting how far it goes.

I think the euro is ultimately doomed. One central monetary authority trying to work with numerous fiscal authorities won't work.

Eventually German and northern European taxpayers are going to get fed up subsidizing southern European deadbeats, IMO.

Young nationalists are sweeping all over the globe.
Globalism is a dying breed.

It's crazy. Far right = trying to retain a nation's culture and protect citizens.

Admittedly an error to say young.. but my point still stands that nationalism is a sentiment being expressed globally right now.

ETA: my point abt “young” is not necessarily the elected leaders. But the populace growing up is inherently anti-globalism.

It's just a reminder of how cucked left most European societies are, from the press and media, to academia, to the general populace, that someone with even a single shred of common sense is thought of as 'far-left'.

The article I linked wasn't referring to Kurz as "far right."

It said because his party didn't win a majority of seats in parliament he would have to form a coalition government and the most likely party to agree to do that is the 'far right' party....
