35% True Leftists (Atlasian Labor Party flavor) Syriza
30% Useless Right-Wing Stooges ND
7% Freakish Nazis XA
6% Useless Moderate Heroes Potami
5% True Leftists (M.E.L.S. flavor) ?? KKE
5% Mega-Super-Ultra-Useless Jimintō-Except-Left-Leaning Pasok
4% Maybe-Less-Useless-But-Kookier Right-Wing Stooges ANEL (the most useless of them all IMO) 3%
LOLPapandreou MDS
5% Other

I think I guessed it. I doubt Golden Dawn will go that high after being exposed as an actual criminal organization and with lots of other right wing choices. Having Pasok as more useless than ANEL is harsh indeed and I think Potami will turn out to be quite a useful party. They will develop into a Social Liberal party with focus on civil rights and good governance and Greece needs a moderate centre-right party to balance ND and preventing them from skewing too far to the right (by offering an alternative to moderate centre-right voters if they do).

I'd like to believe that about Potami too, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

I haven't been following the Greece general thread particularly avidly. Could you explain what's so awful about ANEL that they're more useless than PASOK?

(M.E.L.S. stands for 'Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin', incidentally. Mels was used as one of the various ridiculous constructed first names that Soviet citizens sometimes gave their children.)
