hb, I agree with you. You can't say that democracy is only good if the results are the way you like them. Plus, these things tend to go in fads. I lived in Germany when the NPD (? I'm not sure those are the initials) was starting to make inroads, and everyone was scared to death. But folks soon figured out that they were clowns and they never really became a force in Germany. If the rest of Europe makes a martyr of the neos, that could be different. Austrians are great folks, but they can be stubborn and don't like anyone telling them what to do. Sounds like me, too. <g>

I strongly agree. Outlawing a democratic country because one doesn't like the government is inappropriate at best. I have not seen any action from the Austrian government that could even remotely claimed to be undemocratic.
Its just another example for the twisted moral in politics,since the EU governments have been very kind to dictators (leftwing and rightwing ).
