Groteske um verschwundenen Klagenfurter Wahlleiter
Das Wahlergebnis aus der Stadt Klagenfurt ließ gestern Abend ungewöhnlich lange auf sich warten. Es sickerte durch, dass ein Wahlleiter mitsamt der Urne aus dem Wahlkreis von Landeshauptmann Jörg Haider (FPÖ) verschwunden sein sollte. Die Dementis des Magistratsdirektors stehen nun gegen die Aussagen aus der Bezirkswahlbehörde.

End of the road for far-right Haider
Jörg Haider, the far right Austrian politician who once praised Hitler's employment policies, was fighting for his political survival last night after voters deserted his party in droves. The Freedom party's share of the vote collapsed to below 10% after bitter internal squabbles between Mr Haider and rival leaders. He had also alienated voters with increasingly eccentric behaviour, including a trip to Baghdad to meet Saddam Hussein.

Poll tactics of Austrian chancellor pay dividends
Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel's victory yesterday in Austria's general election is a personal victory over far-right populist Jörg Haider, the man who dominated the country's politics for the past 16 years.

Schüssel wins in Austria after voters reject right
A collapse in support for Jorg Haider's far right Freedom party gave Austria's Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel a stunning victory in yesterday's general election after his centre right People's party emerged as the largest party in more than 30 years. According to final results, excluding postal ballots which have yet to be counted, the People's party increased its share of the vote to 42.3 per cent, from 27 per cent in 1999. The Social Democrats, traditionally Austria's biggest party, only managed to increase their share of the vote by just under four percentage points to 36.9 per cent. Their weak result will raise questions about the political survival of Alfred Gusenbauer, the party's leader.

Defeated far Right could cling to power in Austria
JÖRG Haider’s far-right Freedom Party suffered a humiliating electoral defeat in Austria yesterday, but looked like it could still cling to power in a new coalition government. With almost half the votes counted, the Freedom Party was heading for just 10.4 per cent of the vote - down almost 17 per cent from its record results in 1999.
