  Austria legislative election, 1970 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The elections to the Austrian National Council of 1970 were the first where a plurality was won by the SP×, now led by Bruno Kreisky.
Klaus might have been able to carry on as Chancellor by enterering into a coelation with the FP×, but he immediately resigned after the (rather unexpected) defeat.
Kreisky remained Chancellor of Austria until 1983 after gaining an absolute majority in 1971, 1975 and 1979.

Austria's constitution is guided by the rule of law and based on the republican, democratic and federal principles as well as on the strict division of legislative and executive powers and of the judiciary and administration.
The excellent election returns of the last few years, which reflect the growing confidence of the voters in the party’s political work, are seen by the party leaders as making it incumbent upon them to defend the interests of Austrian citizens to the best of their ability.
Austria's economic prosperity and the calm political atmosphere at home are due to a great extent to the smooth cooperation between the two main interest groups, workers and employers, cooperation which has become institutionalized in Austria to a greater extent than in virtually any other democratic nation.

Reflecting the acceptance of Austrian neutrality, Waldheim, the unsuccessful conservative presidential candidate in 1970, was elected UN secretary general in 1971 and reelected to that post in 1976.
Austria continued to cast itself as a bridge between East and West, and Vienna was the site for some early rounds of the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) between the United States and the Soviet Union.
Although Kreisky pointed to the possibility of Austria's adopting legislation on its own in coordination with these developments, he stressed that Austria's neutrality would continue to prevent full membership in the EEC unless it were expanded to include all of Europe.
