Greek elections News

Speaking of the current political landscape in Greece, former Greek Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis has predicted "If we had elections tomorrow the Golden Dawn would get 20%."

Greece's far-right Golden Dawn party maintained seven percent of the vote in the June 17 elections, winning 18 seats in the Greek parliament. Support held strong in one sector as figures show that half of Greece's police force voted for Golden Dawn.

The results of Greece's second election have given far-right Chrysi Avgi (Golden Dawn) a clear mandate to enter Parliament with 18 seats. Party leader Nikos Michaloliakos proclaimed "we are the party of national opposition."

Athens - The results of the second Greek election mirror those of the first, with New Democracy taking first place, SYRIZA second and PASOK third. Once again the challenge of forming a coalition government must be met.

Polling booths across Greece closed at 7pm. The first exit polls have now been released and indicate that results are too close to call between the leftist Syriza and conservative New Democracy.

Dictated to by the German press and terrorized by the Greek press, voters in Sunday's Greek elections are presented with a ballot offering a no win situation.

The German press is keen to ensure the Greek electorate vote in the way Germany dictates. Firstly Financial Times Deutschland recommended how Greeks vote and now Bild has gone as far as publishing a letter directed at Greek voters.

Athens - The Greek election results have the potential to totally destabliize Europe, halt the US recovery and affect economies as far away as China, India and Malaysia.

Athens - The outcome of the Greek elections may well hold the key to the EU's survival as European leaders struggle to find common ground and workable solutions for fiscal unity.

Athens - Election confusion remains high in Greece. Alexis Tsipras, leader of the Coalition of the Radical Left, SYRIZA, announced he may be willing to form a coalition with KKE, the Communist party. Hours later the KKE renounced such a claim.
