Party system

edit

The party system in Austria is not a multi-party system. It is a two-party system (or arguably a two and a half party system). The author(s) of this article obviously confuse pluralism (the existence of multiple parties competing against each other) with the number of relevant parties. One needs to check the works of political scientists in the field before attempting to make such classifications (a quick overview at: http://www.olemiss.edu/courses/pol628/60227jcp.htm). A cursory reading of politics in Austria, or 'commonsensial' knowledge do not a political scientist make. totally man — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.166.214.56 (talk) 00:16, 13 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
