When was the last time an election in the west produced a remotely "good" result?
The recent French election gave the right a two-thirds majority. Yet many on the left, grasping for straws and desperate to feel any sense of success made themselves believe it was a victory because the fash won less and the centre-left lost less than expected
The last thing I can think of is when Syriza won in Greece. And look where that got them.
Bourgeois electoralism seems to be one of the cases where the master's tools will never destroy the master's house.
The NFP getting first place was "good", just not the outright win that people starved for good news and temperamentally excitable leftists were claiming it was, and it's probably still too soon to tell whether it was worth bundling the left with the socialist party like that in the first place.
Still, electoralism and good municipal governance got the KPO a base in the city of Graz and seems to have turned their 0.7% in the last elections to a 2-3%, if they keep it up they might have better luck next time
