The Greens in the election campaign will miss those absolute conviction that is necessary to want to exhaust within the electorate change his vote potential. No one will deny their green officers sacrificial commitment, and also the top candidate Van der Bellen has certainly given what he could. But all this was not enough to keep even the election results from 2006.
The election campaign of the Greens could be from the general to take the overall political lack of ideas. This does not mean that the Greens did not have the substantive visions, in contrast to the other party, they were revolutionary concepts at the start. But there was a lack implement the green campaign leaders on ideas that turn on energy, education reform and policy on women in media attention: Thematically, the eco-party always panting after the anti-inflation populism of the SPÖ, FPÖ and BZÖ. The battle for third place could compete, not even the Greens. Clearly took up the lead of the Freedom Party in opinion polls dar. That even the BZÖ still was passing at the Greens, is doubly bitter.
The Greens had indeed no dramatic loss of votes to accept the set of Van der Bellen target of a 15% increase in votes on it but failed miserably nigh. Today's resignation of the longtime party chairman is not only because of the failure of this objective, logical: Van der Bellen sought political career due to age to a close. He has spent many years as the head of the Greens. The wear is made in terms of political passion, perhaps not so much felt as in the declining public appeal, but he was still evident. We are the quiet approach professorial Van der Bellen to contrast the current artificially-excited-type populist politicians certainly miss now and then. But the withdrawal of the professor opened the Greens the chance to renew itself internally and externally to then get new political persuasion to.
Van der Bellen of the Greens took the reins in a most difficult situation. His great achievement is the establishment of the party as a stable political force in opposition. It reinforces the argument for Van der Bellen, that he seeks to hold you no convulsively in the party leadership, but of himself from his hat takes: the forthcoming legislative period, which will most likely bring back a grand coalition must use the Open necessarily order to undergo not only a cosmetic treatment, but a Revitalisierungskur. This includes a structural reform of the party.
In the next election again the courage to nonconformity is required.
