Proporzionally Silly
Austria’s in the news again…
Telegraph - Far-Right’s showing in Austria’s election is worrying, by Edward Lucas
The moral of the story:
The clear lesson for Europe’s mainstream politicians is to compete, not to collaborate. Voters like a choice between sensible parties. When they don’t get it, they will vote for silly ones.

Socialism is like an Oreo - International on the outside and National on the inside, and these days with the Soviets out of action not paying the bills the International bit isn’t working, so they internalize things and return to their core roots… The actual clear lesson is that European “mainstream” parties are vying for a very small margin of identity and differentiation, within a mainly homogenous Socialist game-plan. There is no Left-Right, in Europe it’s Inside and Outside.
