The KPÖ Plus, also stylized as "KPÖ+", is an electoral alliance between the Communist Party of Austria (Kommunistische Partei Österreichs, KPÖ) and the Young Left. The alliance, which was originally between the Communist Party of Austria and the Young Greens , the predecessor of the Young Left, was formed in May 2017, after the Young Greens were expelled from The Greens. The alliance focuses on issues such as affordable housing and a better living standard for all Austrians.[1]
