    There has already been some triumphal, on evening of Austrian People's Party: When first extrapolations in "Kursalon" in city of Vienna appear on large screens, jubilation is deafening. People lie in arms, older ladies dab with handkerchiefs tears from eyes, young women in stilettos and with Burberry bags kissing on cheek. The guys who all look exactly like ir top candidate – stiff shirts, jacket, handkerchief and good crest – grin and give mselves high-fives.

    The ÖVP of Sebastian has won more than seven percentage points and has more votes than SPÖ, which party has succeeded in second time since mid-1960s. Although some surveys and many of guests at polling party have recently seen even furr ahead. But – according to extrapolation – 31.5 percent are a victory.

    When shortly afterwards a little later on way to next TV studio still looks past trailers in hall, rush becomes so big that breathing is difficult. Thank you for a short minute. "We made impossible possible," he calls, when he can finally make his voice heard. He and his movement – word party he uses hardly any more lately – is often smiled at first. At same time he warns of arrogance: "Today is not day of triumph over ors." He is standing for a new political culture.

    Who makes a short-term chancellor?

    In short, a high risk was entered in election campaign. He had totally cut party. For a long time he and his faithful had dismantled former ÖVP chief Reinhold Mitterlehner. When he cleared place in spring, he took over briefly. And how. He missed party a new image, she entered election as a list briefly, new People's Party. Briefly, candidates mselves looked out, from black party color became a friendly turquoise. The choice would have been different – it would have been a short time alone. But even more self-confident he goes out this evening.

    The way in which his announced new culture should look is largely dependent on coalition partner. The old foreign minister will be new chancellor. But it remains open to those who will choose it. In short, ORF is humble: "We are not going to speculate tonight. I'll talk to all parties. "

    The most probable thing is that re will be a lot of common ground with second election winner of evening. Heinz-Christian Strache and his FPÖ also have strong gained, almost six percentage points. Thus, two right-wing parties have gared just under 13 percentage points. According to Extrapolations, FPÖ is only thin behind SPÖ with 26 percent and is barely missing its record result of Jörg Haider from year 1999.

    Strache and briefly speak different constituency groups, FPÖ is party of workers and small citizens, in ÖVP, many Porsche drivers feel at home. But in last weeks of campaign, both were so close to content of toger that election was impression that first coalition talks were already underway.
