🇬🇷 Greek politics and elections

[Oryxslayer]

Back in the 80's and 90's there wasn't really any need to bus in supporters from all over Greece, especially in Athens. People lived and breathed politics and passions were high.
The next decades though, the rallies became increasingly smaller and they tried for some years to hide that fact by bringing in people from places as far as 300-400 km away.

Now they have pretty much abandoned these massive rallies and mostly do them indoors where very rarely attend more than 10-20 thousand people.

Still, that's quite impressive. Most western democracies already in the 90s didn't have parties with that kind of mobilization capacity. In my country, for example, I can only recall the 1987 and 1991 Cavaco Silva landslides in which people just filled the streets and squares to see the PM. Anyway, thanks for the reply.

Also, the first public poll after the tragic and deathly train disaster, last week, was published today:

If these were the results, would you expect a "unified left" government, or a PASOK-ND coalition?

I think you would expect a followup election.

So repeat elections it is.

I guess the only question to be answered by 1 extra month of campaigning is if Syriza can fully blow themselves up and PASOK returns to second place.

Gay Marriage passes, 176 - 76.

What was the partisan breakdown of the vote?

This list of tweets, which uses far too many to convey the point,  has that information.

Is it true that the old style Commies voted against?

The Communists were unanimously opposed. Other strong opponents include Greek Solution, Spartans, and Níki. A absolutely wonderful class of characters.
