Bull's eye in terms of content or empty bottle? 80 days before the National Council elections, Beer Party leader Dominik Wlazny presented what he wants to stand for politically after the ballot on September 29. But are his ideas, programs and plans realistic? Together with political scientist Kathrin Stainer-Hämmerle, the "Krone" has subjected Wlazny's program to a reality check.

Since Tuesday, ambitious small parties such as the Beer Party led by Dominik Wlazny have been collecting the necessary declarations of support to run in the National Council elections. The latter has now also presented his package of demands, a collection of issues he stands for and ideas he would like to implement. It includes aptitude tests for ministers, a separate Ministry for the Future, fewer election Sundays and the overdue depoliticization of the ORF.

Experts believe it is extremely realistic that Wlazny will enter the National Council after the election. But how realistic are his ideas and plans? The "Krone" analyzed this with political scientist Kathrin Stainer-Hämmerle.
