There was a political earthquake in Europe today. In Austria, the center-right party won national elections, coming in first. In second place, though, was the nationalist party that wants to restrict immigration. The Socialists (who lead the current government) came in third; that is the party's worst showing since the end of World War II. This will also be the first time that the nationalist party will be part of the governing coalition.
After the French elections, we were told that the nationalist/populist movement in Europe had ended. Looks like they wrote the obituary for that movement too soon.
