So, two parties with strong anti-immigration stance have essentially won the elections in Austria.
Both are right-wing, and far-right to top that. You could make all sorts of arguments about how Nazism is rearing its ugly head in the birth place of Hitler; The Guardian is certainly not shy talking hard when it comes to the region. (Well, a bit east of Austria, but still the same region.) Yet, what is The Guardian fretting about?
The candidate's age.
The same newspaper that issues thundering rhetoric about Nazis in Eastern (well, Central) Europe every time these unwashed barbarians do something that affronts their "European Values", suddenly becomes really quiet when "their guys" do something as bad as electing some crypto-Nazis to power.
Figure that.
