1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,759
Speaker 1: Now the far right's doing well in Austria. Gevin Grays

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,279
Speaker 1: at UK you're a correspondent, Gavin, good morning.

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 2: Good morning to you. Yes it is now. According to

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: projections based on initial results, the far right Freedom Party

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 2: is heading for an unprecedented general election victory. Its estimate

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 2: did'll have over twenty nine percent of the vote. That's

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: three points ahead of the Conservative People's Party. But it's

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: short of a majority, and that is the sticking point right,

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 2: because most of the other parties, all but once say

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: they will not go into coalition with them. However, having

11
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: said that, the Freedom Party, if it is the biggest party,

12
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 2: will be entitled to try and lead a coalition government.

13
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: So all sorts of things going on here. Why is

14
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: it so controversial for the six point three million Austrians

15
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: eligible to vote well because of overtones going back to

16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: the Nazis and the World War. The Freedom Party's leader

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: has promised to Austrians to build fortress Austria. Who's restore security,

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: prosperity and peace. He's called himself the People's Chancellor, and

19
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: believe it or not, that was what Adolph Hitler described

20
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: himself as in Nazi Germany. So all sorts of overtones here.

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: We expect their full results later.

22
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: It's interesting, isn't it, Because you have these far right parties,

23
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: not just an Austria, but all over you're popping up

24
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: and then you have other parties sung on we won't

25
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: work with them.

26
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. So in the Netherlands, Gertz Wilder's Freedom

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 2: Party one, but he dropped his bid to become prime

28
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 2: minister so that other parties would agree to form a

29
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 2: coalition with him. However, in Italy Georgia, Maloney had a

30
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: right wing coalition as leader of the far right party.

31
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: So there are some around but yeah, big pressure to

32
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 2: actually take note to the voters.

33
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Gevin, thank you very much for that. That's

34
