Despite the potential difficulties, these parties may consider the policy favorable given the way that opinions suggest that SNAP votes will reward the far right with a stomped victory.

Kickle saw on the course as Austria’s first far-right leader since World War II. His party won the most votes in the September election. And while Van der Belem gave then-Prime Minister Karl Nehammer the first chance to form a coalition with other mainstream parties, talks broke in early January.
Anti-immigrant pro-Lucia FPö has been in talks with Nehammer’s ÖVP since January, but has not been able to reach an agreement on sharing the cabinet post.
Kickl maintains a key post of interior and funding for his own party, while providing many ministries to his rivals with his latest bid. In that counter offer, ÖVP wanted to maintain the Ministry of Finance and the Home Office, but proposed that FPö take the asylum and transition portfolio. Kickl refused.
“The negotiations ultimately failed because of our regret,” Kickle told Van der Belem.
Central right leader Christian Stocker wants to maintain the Ministry of Finance and the Home Office as ÖVP said he wants to ensure a “defensible constitutional state” and cooperate with the International Intelligence Reporting Agency.
Stocker has said nothing about resuming consultations with the left party, but the Social Democrats, green and liberal Neos parties all show a willingness to speak.
