I quite agree, but it is an unfortunate fact that the death of no other Austrian politician would be reported across the world. I am getting really worried about the rise of Fascism across Europe - in Britain, we are in danger of seeing the first Nazi Member of Parliament ever at the next elections.

The really bad thing is that between Strache and Haider many already saw Haider as the lesser evil... and both parties together almost got 30% at the last elections. Depressing.

A footnote: according to the last report I heard, he was driving at twice the speed limit when he crashed. I find it typical that he died breaking the law.

Weltuntergang? That does seem decidedly over-melodramatic for someone like that...

Well, the Weltuntergangs-guy is someone from his party and a friend and was crying in front of the tv camera... the rest is bad enough, though.
