Two Brits in Vienna on all the most important Austrian news of the week or at least all the bits we found interesting enough to talk about.

Headlines this week: 

• Fraudulent eCard fraud numbers- 

Turns out the estimations of eCard fraud may have been over estimated a bissl, with a report showing €189mil less than predicted.

•  HC Strache unsure where his house is-

Former FPÖ big man, Vice Chancellor and star of Ibiza videos, Heinz-Christian Strache seems to have forgotten he lives in Klosterneuburg, NÖ. This bars him from running in the upcoming Viennese elections. Will he let that stop him? Probably not. 

• A very large minority- 

Around half a million adult residents of Vienna will have no right to vote in the upcoming city wide elections. Of this number around 200,000 have no voting rights at all in Austria as they are not EU citizens. 
We discuss how democratic a city can be  when a third of its population is barred from voting. 

• Imperial integration: 

This week's integration questions covers the topic of ancient empires. Which one was Austria a part of and why should we care?
