[13] Five MPs – Gerhard Köfer of the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ), Elisabeth Kaufmann-Bruckberger and Christoph Hagen of the Alliance for the Future of Austria (BZÖ), and independents Robert Lugar and Erich Tadler – agreed to join the party.

On the same day, Team Stronach won 10% of the vote in the Lower Austria state election, in third place.

The result in Lower Austria gave Team Stronach its first seat in the Federal Council, held by Gerald Zelina.

On 3 June 2015, two Stronach members - Georg Vetter and Marcus Franz - of parliament defected to the ÖVP, leaving the party with nine deputies.

[27] An advisor of the Team Stronach suggested later in an interview with news magazine "Format" that they wanted to keep the Euro but introduce additional national currencies.
