On Sunday Austria votes for their members of EU parliament. There's 6 top candidates from the main parties.
I have a feeling the vote will be ... one sided here. :P
So, bonus question: who belongs to which party?
ÖVP (Christian Conservatives)
SPÖ (Social Democrats)
Greens
JETZT (left wing list that split off the Greens)
neos (libertarians - strongly for personal and economic freedoms, in favor of small government)
FPÖ (far right populists)

Five maen, and only two of them can be bothered to wear a tie? :ultra:
I'm going to vote for #3. #5's gasses make him look like a leftist.
So, let's take my shot:
neos
JETZT
OVP
FPO
Greens
SPO
None of these is correct. :P

I'm watching a live stream of the six in an election discussion right now, and it's the same guys wearing/not wearing ties. :D
I voted for Count Orlock (#1). I assume he belongs to some sort of aristocratic, pro-blood drinking, anti-garlic party.

The Chick, that's the nazis, right?
Hot babes = Nazi's or Greens.
Edit/google: But not this time....

I felt really good about my pick for FPO - he looked like he had a nice punchable Nazi face.
Number two looks like he just opened the Ark of the Covenant in from of himself, and is awaiting the inevitable face-melting. ;)

That was my reaction too.
Nobody else has tried to guess the parties. :contract:

Checking my own predictions against your list, so as not be a total doofus, makes it too much work. :boring:

It's like a game of Clue. Thus far the possibilities are:
1 ÖVP, SPÖ, Greens, JETZT, FPÖ
2 ÖVP, SPÖ, Greens, neos, FPÖ
3 SPÖ, Greens, JETZT, neos, FPÖ
4 ÖVP, SPÖ, Greens, JETZT, neos
5 ÖVP, SPÖ, JETZT, neos, FPÖ
6 ÖVP, neos
I have it on good authority that werewolves are eco-fascists. It's logical to assume that vampires will try to appeal to a different constituency; so that rules out Greens, JETZT and FPÖ for #1.
I'm not sure what we can do with knowing #2 looked into the Ark of the Covenant and had his face melted. The very same thing happened to James Carville; so it's clearly a phenomenon that can cross party lines.
With Tonitrus reveal we know that 6 isn't a green or fascist.
So my guesses:
1 SPÖ
2 Greens
3 FPÖ
4 JETZT
5 ÖVP
6 neos
