Sebastian Kurz, perhaps soon Federal Chancellor of Austria, has problem, as a so-called young talent in politics, that he must defend his youth sins without being able to say: I was still young!
2010 For example. As n already glattpomadierte 24-year-old said in front of a camera: "The election campaign will be cool because everyone knows: black makes hot politics. Black makes hot parties and black makes Vienna awesome. " Leaning from "Geil-O-Mobile", a Humvee, was briefly celebrated by slightly clad girls. The campaign was a flop. Sebastian Kurz was an asshole ( standard), a steam chatter ( time). Then.
From today's point of view, you have to admit that it has been right what he did. Shortly reafter he became secretary of State for integration, n foreign minister. Now he becomes, very likely, Federal Chancellor.
In short, this is part of an illustrious series of young men who have recently taken up Western societies. No matter if from center-left like Justin Trudeau, center-right like Christian Lindner and Emmanuel Macron or right outside like Sebastian Kurz. After years of Angela Merkel's musty government blanket, François Hollande's uncle, Guido Westerwelle Clowntümelei, after Stephen Harper's conservative stranglehold and infinite history of Austrian grand coalitions, desire for boys seems Unloaded tackles.
That story of Packer, of underdog, of or maker works, has been evident since election of Macron, but at latest since election in Austria. This narrative is no more than a façade that obscures actual. But this is certainly wanted – and not necessarily bad. Similar to short ' Geil-O-Mobile, one can assume with a view to success: will be right so.
Everything different?After all, image of new creators is quickly clear: y do not make politics new or different. Macron is an elite graduate, briefly ex-chairman of Young Conservatives, Lindner was already with young Liberal boss, and Trudeau is son of a Prime Minister – full pack establishment. These men speak of departure, but y stand for anything but a complete rupture with old. They abide by traditional principles, emphasize importance of institutions. On one hand, y incite mistrust of political class as if y were not part of it, but at same time swarm political bureaucracy. A kind of gentle minute blows her. All of m are economically liberal, socio-political progressive, with exception of migration policy, in which y appear moderate to right. They are all essentially pro-European.
They can hardly be nailed down programmatically. Briefly moves with ease between "Islam belongs to Austria" and internment camps for refugees on Mediterranean islands; Lindner is once for climate protection, sometimes against, sometimes for Russia sanctions, sometimes against. In election campaign, French media macron named candidates of Ni-ni and en même temps – "neir" and "at same time". As in: At same time against and for it, but neir! And Trudeau has made Canada's tar sand fields greatest environmental sin in Western world, while he points his finger at Donald Trump for escaping from Paris climate agreement.
And yet, or just because of that, narrative works. So good that voters give se young politicians a huge amount of confidence and let m go through a great deal. They want to see in m counter-draft to crumbling People's Party center, where felt still Inkompetenteste loyalist can serve as Minister high. They prefer to choose movements as parties. Departure is more than stability, although this could easily be over vague programs.
