Perhaps Vienna will once again resume its rightful and historical role as the capital of the lands of the Germans.

The Berlin period (1871-1945) really kind of sucked anyway. Koniggratz was an aberration.

HRR forever!

I think the Austrian language is German.

Neo-Anschluss has been postponed

Never mind about the stupid 20th Century! It was an aberration.

Vienna is the rightful capital of Germany. Koniggratz could not last forever.

You’ll have to ask the brilliant professor and statesman Barack Obama. But don’t bother calling his office. He’s out visiting all 57 states.

Just keep them out of Hungary. (And out of Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and the Balkans.)

As some of you have noted, the great genius village idiot Barack Obama really thinks that there is a language called "Austrian".

Here's a short video of him saying that. Funny that the media did not roundly mock him for it.

And don’t forget Hungary. Hungary is not Slavic, but it too was oppressed by the Hapsburgs.

6.37pm: Sebastian Kurz makes first speech

Sebastian Kurz said that he and his party have “received a great responsibility” in his first remarks since polls closed.

He said that he would “fight with all his power and full commitment for his country” to “create a new culture” and “change the country into a positive one”.

FPO leader Heinz-Christian Strache has also spoken, telling supporters: “The voter is always right. The ongoing hounding of us libertarians did not work.”

As his party battles with SPO for second place, he added: “We will wait for the end results.”

Christian Kern admitted that his party has made “mistakes”.

He conceded defeat to Mr Kurz, adding: “The ball is now in the president’s court, then it will be with the ÖVP leader.”

I was in Bratislava in 1991 and witnessed the annual re-enactment of the crowning of Maria Theresa as King of Hungary, which had been going on at that point for about 250 years.

Otto von Hapsburg's heart is buried in Hungary. Hungary under the Hapsburgs ruled Croatia, Transylvania, Bukovina, most of Slovakia, and in general made out OK.

The reason they didn’t mock him is they’re ignorant too.

True enough, until the Hapsburgs dragged Hungary into WW I.

It’s also worth noting that Austria gave Hungary a measure of self-governance only after the Hungarians forced the issue in the Compromise of 1867.

What is the language?

The man I talked to, who grew up there, told me he spoke German growing up in Vienna.

We were going skiing and got lost. We stopped at a gas station for directions. She couldn’t understand the Austrian dialect of German the attendant spoke.

“I can’t understand the sh*t he speaks” she said. Her family was originally from Berlin.
