– The Austrian Freedom Party won nearly 30% of the vote in the national elections, becoming the largest party in Austria.
– Austria’s center-right People’s Party came second with 26%, while the Greens collapsed to single-digit support.

The nation of Austria held its long-anticipated national elections on Sunday, and the big winner of the night was the Austrian Freedom Party. This party was denounced by the legacy media as far-right and radical simply because they want to enforce and defend their national sovereignty.
BREAKING:
The far-right wins today’s Austrian election according to the just released exit poll:
FPÖ: 29,1% (+12,9) Far-right
ÖVP: 26,2% (-11,3) Center-right
SPÖ: 20,4% (-0,8) Social democrats
NEOS: 8,8% (+0,7) Liberals
GRÜNE: 8,6% (-5,3) Greens pic.twitter.com/yKPAmrXJNQ— Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) September 29, 2024
The Freedom Party won with nearly 30% of the vote in a multi-party election, which means of course that one in every three Austrians are voting for the populist right. The center-right People’s Party came in second with 26% of the vote. The Greens were once again decimated. We have been seeing this in a number of elections in Europe over the last year. They collapsed to single digits.

Matt Goodwin put stats together showing that the Austrian Freedom Party was one of the first populist right parties to form in Europe, and they broke into parliament back in 1990 with almost 17% of the vote. Their real break-out election was in 1999, when they got 27% support. They formed their first coalition government with the Austrian People’s Party, which is their more center-right establishment party.
Austria was sanctioned by the EU back then, when they formed an alliance with a so-called far right party. This all happened when the Austrian Freedom Party was led by Jorg Haider, who unfortunately died back in 2008 in a car crash. Haider took over the party in the 80s and he fashioned it as a populist right party, taking on Germany’s ruling globalist elite on behalf of the people.
Populism fundamentally is a structural politics as it realigns the electorate around a vertical divide as opposed to a horizontal divide. When we think of politics we generally think of a horizontal divide between left vs right, but populists stand that on its head. It is realigned around a vertical divide, the people vs the permanent political class. Haider’s legacy was fashioning the Austrian Freedom Party into a thoroughly nationalist populist party.
The Freedom Party fell apart and lost a lot of their popularity. It collapsed to just 10% a few years later, and stayed there until its new leader Heinz-Christian Strache was able to lead the party to some big gains. They hit 26% support, and once again formed a coalition government with the Austrian People’s Party led by the youngest chancellor in all of Europe, Sebastian Kurz. Again the coalition fell apart after a big scandal involving their leader Heinz-Christian Strache became public. Their support collapsed to just 16%. With their leadership, they have surged into first place, coming just shy of 30%.
They are now the number one party in all of Austria. What happened in Austria is part of a much wider trend of Europeans turning to the populist right en masse. Just a few weeks back, Germany’s patriot party, the AfD, won two major elections in East German states. Overall, the AfD is now officially the most popular political party in East Germany, which now has a lot of commentators asking if East Germany is ready to secede from Western Germany since the West is committed to open-borders globalism.
Before those East German elections, Marine Le Pen’s National Rally won France’s European elections in June and then had their best showing ever in their national elections just a few weeks later. Before that, Geert Wilders’ Dutch Freedom party won their first election in the Netherlands with the help of the farmer’s revolt that had completely overturned the WEF’s plans on gutting European agriculture.
And we could go on and on; .there is a stunning turn to the right, the civilizationalist right, among the European population, Europe, along with the United States, is going through a major political realignment, where more of their respective populations no longer trust their leaders and the way they have been managing their respective nations. Trust in the secular globalist governance that has characterized the liberal era for the last few decades is in a freefall, particularly among the youngest voters.
A number of analysts have shown that a large amount of the support for these right parties is coming from voters under the age of 30. After the financial collapse of 2008, the austerity measures that were enforced, and the COVID insanity, this demographic has lost any confidence in our governing elite. Delegitimation is resulting in dealignment, where more voters are less inclined towards the traditional political parties. In the 1960s, in Britain, 50% of the public felt closely aligned to one of the two major parties. Today that number has dropped to just 10%!
People want to go in a direction very different from that of the liberal globalist vision for the nation either on the center left or the center right. If what just happened in Austria is any indicator, the days of the globalists being in power are coming to an end.
