Elections in Austria: The Haider Menace Since 1945 the development of post-war Austrian democracy has been characterized by surprising stability, thanks to the responsibility and collaboration of the two major parties, the Christian Democrat ÖVP and the Socialist SPÖ, which often governed the country in a grand coalition. With the recent elections of 3rd October 1999, however, the post-war era of Austrian politics could be turning. Winner of the elections was the opposition FPÖ led by Jörg Haider, the xenophobic <i>enfant terrible</i> of Austrian politics. With a margin of only 400 votes Haider's National Liberals passed by the Christian Democrats, thus becoming the second party in the "National Council". The possibility of the FPÖ entering a coalition has generated serious concerns in the European partner countries as well as in Israel. The shape of the next government in Vienna is not yet in sight, since a simple continuation of the severely punished grand coalition under chancellor Viktor Klima (SPÖ) would appear as a betrayal of the voters' will. Austrian democrats could be challenged to find the courage for significant political change. viktor klima • joerg haider • wolfgang schuessel • övp • spö
