If you're in America, chances are you've heard about Salzburg - home of Mozart, and also of Sound of Music.

In today's election, two candidates will continue to the mayoral run-off in a few weeks: The head of the Social Democratic Party, and the head of the Communist Party - gained almost 20%!

The incumbent of the People's Party (conservative) didn't run; his successor made a meagre 20%.
The right-wing (bordering on Fascist) Freedom Party made just 12%, very much underperforming compared to all recent polls.

There's a very good chance that the second city in Austria, after Graz, will have a Communist mayor.

Yet people still claim that "right and right-wing parties have a lock on electoral majorities in Austria."

Somebody should have told the voters in Salzburg!
