I just heard the news that in my home country, Austria, the politician Peter Pilz was accused of sexual assault committed in 2013 and subsequently announced he will quit the parliament:
Austrian party leader quits parliament over accusation of sexual assault
Now here's the fun part. (Sorry if this is off-topic and boring for some)
We just had elections in Austria. Peter Pilz, who had been the leading politician of the Austrian Green Party for 20+ years, had been unhappy because he was forced to compete for place # 4 on the party ticket and in the first run, was defeated by a younger politician. Instead of competing again for place # 6, as was suggested to him by other party leaders, he felt insulted and instead decided to start his own party, taking some of the other green politicians with him.
So shortly before the election, there were suddenly 2 "green" parties on the ballot. Even worse, Pilz' new party managed to get about 4.5 % of the vote, while the official green party only got 3.8 % of the vote and thus did not manage to get into the parliament (4 % minimum required). So instead of 24 seats in parliament (13 %) after the 2013 election, there are now 8 seats (4 %) in the Austrian parliament occupied by ecologic parties.
Mr. Pilz was more or less single-handedly responsible for that decline, and now he is also outed as sexual predator ... could they not have outed him half a year ago?????
I'm so mad.
