Far right set to lose in Austria

Here's some good news. With far right seemingly gaining ground all across the globe -- witness the new Prime Minister in Japan, for example or Angela Merkel in Germany, or the recent election in Sweden -- this is good news:

VIENNA (AFP) - Campaigning is wrapping up in Austria for general elections that are expected to result in the far-right being out of power for the first time in over six years.

Hopefully, the tea leaves are correct. I have a number of good friends in Austria, most of whom don't support Haider & Co.
