New Austrian coalition excludes the far right election winners

A NEW coalition government was agreed in Austria today, which excluded the far-right party that won the country’s general election in September last year.
A statement from the right-wing Austrian People’s Party (OVP), the centre-left Social Democrats (SPO) and the liberal Neos said they had agreed on a programme for a coalition after 129 days — the longest post-election hiatus in post-World War II Austria.
The country’s politicians broke a record of 129 days to form a new government that dated back to 1962.
