As Peter Westenthaler has pointed out, there is technically a right-of-centre natural majority. It’s not yet inconceivable that an ÖVP / FPÖ / BZÖ coalition may yet work if the two right-wing parties can lay aside their differences. If you combine their two figures they’ve produced a significant recovery on the disaster for the FPÖ that was the 2002 vote. Together they got 15.6% and one could perceive that a united party would have picked up even more. That’s still half what they got in 1998, but it’s back on the road.
