1980s movies have taught me never to trust people who wear sweaters around their necks so no on #1.

#2 has serious mom energy. I find that comforting.

#3 looks like a youth league coach.

#4 looks like he is scheming to seize control of a locally owned business in service of an evil corporation.

#5 has the smug expression of a young woman who just inherited her parents' restaurant.

I would totally vote for #6 if he was wearing adidas.

#7 looks like the leader of a militia stronghold somewhere in Idaho.

Guess I will vote #2. She seems like she would have orange slices and juice for all the kids.

I also feel like 6 is a dad who is trying to coach the local under 5s side to play out of the back and to gegenpress :lol:
Let's bomb Russia!

I cannot help but notice how long her fingers are. I know it is not the same as pointy elbows, but still.... :P

But for myself...I am a sucker for a lady in a sweater.  :blush:

FPO guy looks exactly like expected.

FPÖ guy said in an interview that he thinks Viktor Orban would make a great EU commission president. He stresses that Austria needs to remain neutral in international matters. If a fellow EU country was attacked militarily, Austria should not intervene.

Crazy doctor from DNA says that investing in solar and wind power is bad for the climate because it seals up valuable ground that can't absorb CO2 then. She cites the (climate changer denying) Climate Intelligence Foundation (https://www.desmog.com/climate-intelligence-foundation-clintel/). Coal power should keep going, and Austria should keep buying gas from Russia.

Someone (opponent in the Greens or externally) leaked that Lena Schilling recently settled in private court with a former best friend of hers. Under penalty of up to EUR 20,000 Schilling agreed to no longer claim her friend was being physically abused by her husband and that her friend lost her unborn child that way.

Just normal Austrian election things. The polls from before the weekend:

Latest poll.



Besides the mentioned story above, Schilling has hit by more leaks - someone leaked chat messages of her where shortly before becoming the lead candidate for the Greens in the EU elections she said that she hates no party as much as the Greens, and that she aims to leave them for the left faction after the elections. The responses from her or the party have been non-existent beyond some party members complaining about the mudslinging campaign.

This poll indicates that Austrians still wish they could start a World War, they just currently lack the means.
