The PAP was founded in 1954, and in the 1950s acted as a leftwing party of trade unionists, whose leadership consisted of English-educated lawyers and journalists and Chinese-educated and pro-communist trade union leaders and educators.
Unlike the leaders of communist parties, the leaders of the PAP made no effort to draw the mass of the population into the party or party-led organizations or to replace community organizations with party structures.
The relatively weak party organization was the result of the decision of the leaders to use government structures and the network of ostensibly apolitical community organizations to achieve their ends.

 Central Europe Review - On the Inside Looking out: Austria's New OVP-FPV Government, Jorg Haider and Europe
Greens as a parliamentary faction and the rise of Jörg Haider to the party chairmanship of the FPÖ.
The two major parties have indulged in extensive systems of proportional power-sharing and political patronage (called Proporz and Parteibuchwirtschaft or "the economics of party membership"), and those Austrians who have not been or are not benefactors of these arrangements have expressed their discontent by voting for the FPÖ as a means of protest.
Politically or rhetorically downgrading Austria to the status of a semi-democratic state with a neofascist government is unfair and for Austrians an insult.

 Austria
The FPÖ is neither a neo-nazi nor an extreme right-wing party, but a "liberal" one with a nationalistic wing and a populist leader.
