Democracy and Austria

Posted by naveedb on April 17, 2008

After World War II, Austria was able to reintroduce its original constitution from 1920. The government in Austria is a democratic republic which includes a parliament. This parliament is bicameral. In this government the head of state is the Federal President, who is elected directly by popular vote. This president is responsible for appointing the Federal Chancellor, who is the chairman of the Federal Government.  For the most part , the Austrian government is dominated by five political parties , which includes  the Labor Party, Conservative Party, Environmental Party,  and two right-wing nationalist parties. Also since 1995, Austria has been a member of the European Union.
