Here comes AUXIT: Austrian election hinges on Brussels – with Eurosceptics surging ahead, by Joey Millar.

Former Greens leader Alexander Van der Bellen is running as an independent against Norbert Hofer, the candidate for the Freedom Party (FPO) – a Eurosceptic, anti-immigrant party. …

While Mr Van der Bellen won the first run-off, the FPO successfully appealed the decision following accusations of voters fraud. …

With just weeks to go, the FPO are leading Mr Van der Bellen in the presidential polls. More importantly, the party are also polling first ahead of a parliamentary election to be held by 2018.
