The EU having a 'hard time sealing the deal' has nothing to do with Jorg Haider. The EU is a mess, that got even more messy with the introduction of 12 new members.
But as Louis said, the EU isn't all about 'free trade and single market', wether our british friends like it or not. It has political aims, such as you know, protecting democracy and all that kind of things.
I'm pretty sure that, would Jorg Haider have been the leader of the Austrian Communist Party, you would all have been like 'Zomg a communist is elected in Europe and the EU isn't doing anything :''''''( '
