“It is the last chance for a government without the FPÖ. But there must also be no contested coalition and reforms are needed,” says Heidi Glück. The Social Democrats have time and again taken responsibility and have not always aroused enthusiasm. “The Social Democrats have also paid the price for this,” says Joe Kalina, once also SPÖ’s executive director. The willingness of all three parties to cooperate is certainly there. However, they would all have to make concessions. “A joint agreement is difficult enough, but so are the external global political issues. We can learn something from the current government here,” Lothar Lockl is convinced. There just shouldn’t be any chopping and changing and constant bickering. “My recommendation is to concentrate on major priorities, but not to negotiate every detail. It will be ministerial responsibility later anyway.”
