Überzeugende Mehrheit

Convincing majority of the Austrian MPs has played down all the voices from the People. 155 of them voted in favor of the ratification and 28 were against. Which brings us back behind the calculator:

What is definitely strange is that you can find pictures (Der Standard) of a rather unusual display of political misunderstanding of the world. Namely The Greens who supported the ratification and have used a brand new swear-phrase “you’re not European” against those who defended Austrian neutrality and sovereignty on the same day supported… well… independence and sovereignty of one quite distant country on the same planet - Tibet:

How is one to understand that? It’s cool to separate a country from the “Chinese Union” but it’s not nice to try similar against the “European Union”?
