0:00.0 | All right, Alexander, let's talk about the elections in Austria and the results which show the Freedom Party has won the elections. |
0:11.2 | They came in first with about 30% of the vote. |
0:15.8 | The ruling People's Party, they came in second, the party that's currently governing. They came |
