Correlation is not causation :)

The Austrian right is far more popular in the countryside than the cities - which is not a new thing, non-urban areas have historically been more right-leaning.

It's the same problem we continue to see in other countries - progressive cities and conservative regions.

That said, because progressives have been so successful in Austria, even the right wing is very socialist in some ways. It's just that they want all those benefits for Austrians only.

Unfortunately the right is also popular among former voters of the social democrats in urban areas.

Interesting - can you elaborate on that?

National Socialism is by definition Socialism.
