I never liked him either, but I found the European reaction to him to be excessive and highly hypocritical-from my perspective, he was no worse than the eurocommunist parties that are often included as junior partners in government. Besides, the attempted political boycott set a bad precedent, so I was happy when it failed.
It will be interesting (seeing as I don't live there) to see what affect this will have on the "far-right" (such parties often have highly statist economic policies) in Austria; will the two parties reunite, or will the absence of a charismatic leader cause a decline in popularity, particularly in Carinthia?
