Corrected, and as I emphasized in my comment, the difference is in many EU countries it's very easy to get citizenship after 4-6 years wile also keeping your original citizenship and not being forced into military service, so you can vote on nationals and have the chance to vote out the ultra-right-wingers. In Austria that's not the case. Any talks about easing up the restrictions on gaining citizenship, allowing dual citizenship or removing mandatory military service for citizens, end up smothered quickly by nationalistic and populist arguments along the lines of "foreigners should have to walk through glass to prove they're worthy for the privilege of becoming one of us". Becoming a citizen in the UK or Belgium is a rubber stamp in comparison.
