The context of the political system in Austria

The political system of Austria is based on democracy, republican state form and federal state. Parties play a central role in political life, and the elections are largely based on proportion of proportions ( Wikipedia ). It is a parliamentary democracy in which the National Council and the Federal Council form the legislative. The National Council has 183 MPs who are elected every five years while the Federal Council is representing the federal states.

Austria joined the EU on January 1, 1995, which significantly influenced national politics. Additional regulations such as the rule of law and the separation of powers ensure fundamental rights and prevent the citizens from concentrating. The upcoming commitment of Zauner and strong in these structures could play an important role in the future orientation of the People's Party and the political landscape in Lower Austria.
