 * I'm on it, but it's not easy with the text containing quite a few words without english counterparts (and with, which seems to be a case with politics, some words that haven't existed in German before the campaign either...) --Completefailure (talk) 14:33, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Gains and losses
The number of the gains and losses in the number of seats doesn't add up. Did the parliament get smaller or is this a typo? -- Deville (Talk) 06:35, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * They do add up, but the table could be clearer in showing that. The BZO is a new party compared to the last election, so their 8 seats are all gains. Bondegezou 11:23, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I see. Does it then make sense to put a "+8" in the "+/-" column?  They technically do have 8 more seats than last time. -- Deville (Talk) 05:11, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll go ahead and put it in there, then, if anyone thinks it doesn't make sense feel free to revert.--Deville (Talk) 11:22, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * This is extremely difficult to explain. On the one hand they have now 7 seats (they lost one) more than 2002, but they've got less than the day before the election. Man77 18:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Coalition possibilities
How is a parliamentary majority formed - through numbers of votes, or through numbers of seats? The article states that "the numbers permit no other two party coalition". Presumably this means that it is not possible for either the SPO or the OVP to form a coalition with any party except each other so as to form a majority? --Richardrj talkemail 09:41, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Numbers of seats, of course, which correlates directly to number of votes; and yes, it does mean exactly what it says -- that the only *TWO*-party coalition with the necessary amount of votes/seats is SPÖ/ÖVP. &mdash; Nightst a  llion  (?) 15:39, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Two talk pages
There seem to be two talk pages associated with this article - this one, and another one which is accessed by clicking the "discuss" link at the top of the results table. I don't think the second one should be there, but I don't know how to (or even if I should) remove it. --Richardrj talkemail 09:40, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * That's because the results table is a separate Template - the "discuss" link there links to the Template's Discussion Page. --Completefailure (talk) 13:22, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
