Member of the National Council
In the 2008 elections, Haider won a seat via the FPÖ regional list for Upper Austria and was sworn in as a member of parliament on October 28, 2008. He was the spokesman for tourism in the FPÖ parliamentary group. However, he said that the main areas of his work as a member of parliament were the economy, budget and finance.[3] Haider would be re-elected in the 2013 and 2017 elections.[4][5]
Member of the European Parliament
In the 2019 elections, Haider would be elected to the European Parliament. Despite the FPÖ only winning 3 seats and Haider being placed 4th on the list, Heinz-Christian Strache and Petra Steger would decline their seats, hence allowing Haider to enter the European Parliament. In the National Council, Haider would be replaced with Sandra Wohlschlager.[6][7] Haider, along with the rest of the FPÖ delegation, would serve his first term as a member of the ID group.[8] He would be re-elected in 2024, and join the FPÖ delegation in the PfE group.[1]
