Austria voted today(again) and Alexander van der Bellen of the green party will be the next president of austria(again) over his opponent Norbert Hofer of the far right party FPÖ. With all the political madness going on in 2016 it is refreshing to see a calm and thoughtful candidate trump a populist.

Populist? Because he wants to clean the mess the open door policy left?

Who would have thought bringing in millions of illiterate people from a third world country with incompatible culture and religion was bad?

Populist means, that he dont't have real solutions and the people follow him just for creating fear.

Im pretty sure that's not a definition of being a 'populist'. But hey ho whatever swings your boat.

The exact translation of the German definition: "a politic which trys to win the favour of the people with seamingly ease solutions"

Trump never said it would be easy. Decades of fuck up will take years to fix.
