They will accompany us all year as the EU elections, the National Council elections and the state elections are just around the corner. How does a political scientist evaluate topics and slogans? asked the “Krone”.
This year, politicians in pedestrian areas or along the road will spend most of the year smiling at us and drumming their slogans on posters; campaigns by different parties have been running for a long time; Currently also for the Styrian AK election. After the EU elections in June, after a short summer break, the election campaign for the National Council begins, which transitions almost seamlessly into advertising for the state elections.
The AK elections in Styria still last two days. For many people frustrated with politics, it’s important to keep their nerves strong. Close your eyes, it just doesn’t matter with this amount of photos of politicians.
