🇬🇷 Greek politics and elections

[DavidB.]

ND-EL seems a rather straightforward option, but if they don't win a majority, things may get messy. Would there be a path to any alternative government, and if so, what would it look like? Would PASOK even cooperate with Syriza (or with ND)? Or do we enter Israel territory where either the right win, or there is another election?

SYRIZA will always get at least 25% as long as Anatolian, Cretan and Turkish tribes think it represents their tribal economic interest (Politics in Greece is highly tribal).

Could you please expound on this? Sounds fascinating.

I basically expounded it in one of my earlier comments on Page 1.

I just used the term Anatolians rather than Asian Minors.

I read it with much interest, but was left with more questions. Where are these various groups located geographically in Greece, nowadays?

[DavidB.]

Government itself, through it's own Ministers, MP's and Official Government Spokesmen publicly.

Accussations and allegations in Greece are usually done in public by the MP's themselves first, as cover for the media to report on them.

Lol. The golden rule "your opponent's filth isn't your soap" apparently isn't part of the playbook.

Looks like the gap between ND and Syriza will be bigger than you would have expected one month ago. Somehow the momentum changed. What happened?

[DavidB.]

I have never witnessed a politician as shameless as Tsipras. The guy is courting Golden Dawn voters while at the same time many prominent members of his party have denounced Zelenski and the Ukrainian government as neo-Nazis.

Would a government with Syriza weaken the pro-Ukraine position of the Greek government in/and the EU?

What’s the difference between EL and NIKI?

[DavidB.]

I’m intrigued to see Zoe Konstantopoulou’s party with some seats. It seems pretty hard left but also nationalist. Have seen a few people stating that they had appeal outside the traditional confines of the far-left, although I would want to see some data on that.

She gets the non-communist intellectual leftist vote.

It's historically usually around 5%.

How woke is this demographic and how woke is this party?
