On October 15, Austria held a Parliamentary election, using proportional representation. Five groups polled at least 4% of the vote and therefore gained representatives in Parliament. The results are: Austrian People’s 62 seats; Social Democratic 52 seats; Freedom 51 seats; New Austria 10 seats; Peter Pilz List 8 seats.
No party received a majority of the seats, so the Austrian Peoples Party formed the government with help from the Freedom Party. See the wikipedia page about the election.
The Green Party had had 24 seats, but because it only polled 3.8%, it lost its seats.
Basic PR —
PM = TM x PV / TV
NOOOO minimum pcts — except 100/TM
Something will happen with every bill – esp. tax and spending bills.
NOOOO more *parliamentary* regimes — Total separation of powers.
Peter Pilz was a Green member of parliament, who left the parliamentary group, and then was left off their list, Pilz then formed his own list.
So the Green Party went from 12.4% of the popular vote in 2013, to 4.4% and 3.8% for its two factions in 2017, with the Green Party falling below the threshold.
The government has not been formed. The president directed the leader of the ÖVP, as the largest party, to begin talks. The leader of the SPÖ said they would be going into opposition, and formal discussion between the ÖVP and FPÖ has just begun, but are quite likely to succeed. The presumptive chancellor, Sebastian Kurz, is 31 years old.
With more than 203 seats elected, that does not appear that Austria does use pure proportional representation, since parties garnering less than 4% get no seats.
That would not be proportional representation and BAN seems unable to define the term correctly as usual.
The United Coalition has been using pure proportional representation for more than twenty-two consecutive years and it works fine.
Nobody has it as good as the United Coalition.
