...lost three seats in the parliamentary election, the Socialists gained six. The rightists in Figl's People's Party charged him with softness toward the Socialists. The leaders of Figl's party announced that they would not join any new coalition government unless it included the neo-Nazi Union of Independents. The Socialists refused.

As such, they were a laughable lot-except to a world that once laughed over the doings in a Munich beer cellar...
