At the moment what were the two main parties are projected to have 153 seats out of 300 although only 33.5% of the vote. sounds like Westminster then |

"The latest numbers from MRB, a usually reliable pollster, gives ND 25.4%, down a smidgen from a month ago. Pasok has risen a little, to 15.8%. The same poll also suggests that, despite being dissatisfied with the outgoing coalition, two-thirds of voters want another one to succeed it."www.economist.com/node/21553075Not so reliable - ND is currently on 19.65% rather than 24.5%.

Haven't PASOK ruled out a deal with ND? I don't know. Governing coalition's projected seats has dropped to 151 out of 300. |

A left coalition has a majority 169/131. But that would make Hollande's financial ideas look sensible. (If I have labelled the parties righ, ie everything bar ND and the fascists). And has about 55% of the voters behind it. A second election would more or less see ND not being the largest party as I suspect the left would reshuffle more.

Up to now the electoral districts have neen staying much the same colours as the counting progressed. But I just noticed Corfu/Kerkyra go pink for Syriza. I suppose if the drachma crashes they will get more tourists although the wages might not buy much.

You haven't cos Independent Greeks have 33 and they're a ND breakaway so actually them and ND together have 141, left parties have 138 |

Sad to see that the Popular Orthodox Rally has lost all their seats.

How on earth can a "pro-austerity" coalition be formed seeing as PASOK + ND do not have enough seats and all other parties are anti-austerity?

Sad to see that the Popular Orthodox Rally has lost all their seats. Clearly they were not popular and I would argue that they are not orthodox The Golden Dawn seems to have taken a large portion of their voters. Obviously Greece is in a terrible state, which is why nationalist voters have instead given their vote to the Golden Dawn, a party which is basically militant, violent and not at all democratic. They probably think violence and street marches etc is the way forward in Greece, not the ballot box. The problem here is that the biased media will confuse the Golden Dawn (who are neo-nazi thugs) with genuine (non neo-nazi/ non-violent) nationalist parties. They will always try and smear by association. |

Actually on this one the electorate reaps what it sows. It voted for de facto default.
Quite clearly actually. If you ignore the winners bonus to ND of the 250 PR seats only 99 have gone to the outgoing coalition.

There is room for a ND government with supply from PASOK. But doubt PASOK will play ball. You'll get King Constantine back before that happens. I wouldn't be surprised if he were to start a comeback bid. Not that it would go anywhere. |
