The Greens were wiped out of the Austrian legislature for the first time since 1983, they actually somehow did worse than they did that year. Lost all 24* seats.
But a split from the Greens group called the Peter Pilz List got eight* seats. His big idea appears to be that parties should only be crowd funded. And the "party" doesn't even have any kind of employees or anything.
According to Peter Pilz, "there will be no party foundations in practice".
Apparently it's entire youth group left the Green party en masse before the elections too in dispute with leadership.
What probably makes this more interesting is that the Social Democrats did not gain a single seat from this. The Liberal party got one seat but that's more out of rounding than anything. The People's Party (CDU equivalent) gained 15 seats and the Freedom Party (anti-immigrant, anti-islam, anti-EU, etc. party that's common in Yurop) gained 11 seats.
There were all kinds of "satirical" or "anti-establishment" parties that ran, that like Peter Pilz's list didn't present party platforms, etc. but ran on more general ideas and how politics sucks. The Communist Party added the word "Plus" to their name after allying with the Young Greens group, this shockingly did not work and they lost a fifth of their voters compared to 2013. And they got beat by the "My Vote Counts!" "joke" party.
Our slow depressing slog around Yurop continues later this week to the Czech Republic where ANO is projected to win a landslide. Which in their system means 25% of the vote and 35 seats short of a majority.
Also one of the parties renamed themselves to "Realists" which you totally can't call yourself, also I guess they were inspired to this because of Donald Trump. So like double party foul kiddos.
*From what I understand four of these seats are people who left the Greens and joined his list since the 2013 election.
