Herbert Gantschacher about the Art of Politics of Peter Kaiser, Governor of Carinthia in the Republic of Austria

Politics As An Articulated Form of Life

2023.03.07.
And Peter Kaiser has certainly already done the analysis of the election results very professionally

For an unknown client, the retired journalist the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation ORF and former social democratic mayor of the Carinthian district town of Wolfsberg, Dr. Gerhard Seifried wrote a text entitled with "Less university, more beer table" for the Styrian edition of the Kleine Zeitung, Austria's number two among the newsapers, to explain Carinthia's Governor Peter Kaiser why he lost the state elections in Carinthia. In his own description Dr. Seifried works as an executive coach and communications manager using the so-called "goal set method" (for the first time in Austria), Dr. Seifried increases the gender-sensitive leadership effect and personal luminosity of his clients from business and politics. The target group for which Dr. Seifried has now written the text is probably the fan club of the Austrian Freedom Party within the editorial office of the Kleine Zeitung, the target is Peter Kaiser, to whom Dr. Seifried, as Carinthia's Governor, wants to sell a coalition with the Carinthian Freedom Party on behalf of his clients. The sales offer is written with a lack of knowledge of German grammar and incorrect use of punctuation marks. Now, Peter Kaiser has actually developed his way of the political from his own practical experience, which I name as the art of politics as an articulated way of life. Thanks to the educational reform of Bruno Kreisky, Austria's most important Federal Chancellor, Peter Kaiser was able to complete the gymnasium and studied at the University of Klagenfurt. And from the theory and practice of the political, Peter Kaiser then created his form of politics, which distinguishes him from other Carinthian State Governors, his authenticity, which neither Leopold Wagner nor Jörg Haider have ever achieved, both always squinted for the voters in the camp of the former Nazis, in the case of Haider, even the whole country had to fear financial bankruptcy, from which Peter Kaiser saved Carinthia. And Peter Kaiser has certainly already done the analysis of the election results very professionally and will draw his lessons for the benefit of the people of Carinthia. To do this, Peter Kaiser need no garbled shouts from Dr. Seifried.
