Speculation grows that Austrian leader Herbert Kickl will be asked to form a government

Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen will meet with Herbert Kickl amid speculation he may ask the Freedom Party leader to form a government.
Chancellor Karl Nehammer announced his intention to resign after coalition talks collapsed over the budget.
The Freedom Party topped the polls in the autumn's national election with 29.2% of the vote, but no party is willing to work with Kickl.
Kickl criticized the decision to exclude him from forming a government, stating it was 'not right and not logical'.
