The Austrian Peoples Party and the Freedom Party have formed one prior national coalition together, and are currently coalition partners in several Austrian state govenrments, but the current leader of the Peoples Party seems not to want such a national coalition this time.  The Beer Party has been around since 2015 but never before won any seats, and it appears it may for the first time this election.  A similar satirical Beer Party won seats in Latvia's parliament several decades ago and a satricial Sex Party came up a handful of votes short of winning a Senate seat in Australia a few years ago.
