MeRA seems very unlikely to cross the threshold (🥳), NIKI (I believe they are a right leaning party but not sure) and PE (left-Eurosceptic) are close but I’m not sure if they are going to cross
Edit: I lean toward PE crossing the threshold and NIKI narrowly missing it.

Hard to see anything come out of that - ND - PASOK coalition? New Democracy would be happy with another election, as it will see the return of the majority bonus system. Syriza abolished it while in power, but ND readopted it, and it seems that in Greece any changes to the electoral system take effect not at the following election, but the one after that. |

Changes take effect at the next election only if passed by a two-thirds majority, if not it is the election after that. And yes, ND would be happy with another election, which might result in one or more of the opposition parties coming to some sort of confidence and supply deal. |

Syriza’s share of the vote in Crete is barely above their National one. 😳

It's not easy to find anything at all informative about ΝΙΚΗ on the web. The name doesn't help, of course. NO I'M NOT LOOKING FOR VOX POPS WITH FEMALE GREEK VOTERS CALLED NIKI. NO I'M NOT LOOKING FOR INFO ON ND'S VICTORY PARTY. NO I'M NOT LOOKING FOR PARTY LOCATIONS IN GREECE.

If these results stay the course then Greek pollsters may need to take a trip to polling school. Mind the "range" is a handy escape clause.

With PASOK back from the dead, of course they're once again posting some of their strongest results there, and these voters came home from Syriza. |

I expected them to fall pretty hard here, but not to the point where they only received like 1% more than their National share. |

The handful badly translated Greek articles I've found make their leader sound more imbecile than actively rightist, but they're certainly not left in any way or form. Populist/NOTA vote I suppose. |

Probably too much to ask that Syriza fall under 20%.

Jokes are allowed
KOMMOUNISTIKO KOMMA ELLADAS (MARXISTIKO-LENINISTIKO)
vs
MARXISTIKO-LENINISTIKO KOMMOUNISTIKO KOMMA ELLADAS
They were Mao fans who split for Soviet fan boys of KKE (the one polling 7%).
Then they split among themselves because....well, because of something...
Ok, got it...the latter supported the Three Worlds Theory
