It is such a thing of beauty. They are exactly the kind of corrupt morons I always thought they were. So long and take fucking Kurz with you!

Maybe you will get your wish, if all parties vote against him at the Misstrauensvotum (no-confidence vote?) :D
I certainly wouldn't miss him!

We'll see, but I fear there are too many who want to become his new partner. I still hope that this will not only shift votes from right to right and that they will lose their majority. The EU election will be very interesting.
