European Parliament election, 2004 (Austria)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elections to the European Parliament were held in Austria on June 13, 2004. The parties of the left, the Austrian Social Democratic Party and the Greens, improved their share of the vote. The ruling conservative party, the Austrian People's Party, also improved its share, but this was at the expense of its coalition partner, the Austrian Freedom Party, whose vote dropped sharply. The anti-corruption campaigner Hans-Peter Martin polled strongly and his list won two seats.
