Syndicate: Haider's majority

[tamiko thiel <tamiko@alum.mit.edu>]

Can someone tell me, what were the percentages of people who voted for
Haider's party, and what were the percentages of the total Austrian
electorate who actually voted in that election? Was he elected by an
overwhelming majority of the small percentage of people who voted, or
really by an overwhelming majority of the entire Austrian people?

Many times when such people come into power, it is because the people
who would have voted against them DIDN'T. As they say, the only thing
that evil needs to succeed is for good people to do nothing.

Again, and again, and again.
