When we choose, the formal process is always the same. We tick the names of parties or persons. Then we put a piece of paper in an envelope and throw it in the letterbox. Or in some kind of bucket we call an urn. What’s different about this election?
1) A football match lasts 90 minutes and in the end the Germans always win. So said England striker Gary Lineker. There is a long election campaign for the office of Federal President, so that in the end, for better or for worse, one man always wins. Our parties are partly to blame for this, because they have never given a woman a chance to win. Because yes – with the exception of incumbent parties if they are re-elected – party candidates have always won. Benita Ferrero-Waldner (ÖVP) was closest in 2004 against Heinz Fischer (SPÖ). She lost by nearly 200,000 votes.
