Steiermark's Political Circus: The Great Rightward Shift
As the Steiermark elections approach, political parties are pulling out all the stops in what has been dubbed 'The Great Rightward Shift.' The SPÖ has introduced a new campaign mascot, a right-leaning compass, while the ÖVP has promised to build a wall around the Landeshauptmannsessel to keep out the FPÖ. 'It's all about direction,' said a spokesperson, 'and we're heading right, right, right!' Critics have noted that the only thing moving faster than the political shift is the speed at which politicians are changing their stances.
