Early results probably from small rural communities who would tend to favour ND.

The big urban centers Patras, Pireas, Larissa, Athens, Thessaloniki have not been counted yet and would tend more left of left.

I pick SYRIZA as the winner...

You read it first here on FR .

I thought it was seriously funny.

I’m sorry but I get really worked up by people making jokes of this. We are witnessing the undeveloping of a european union country. There is something systemically unsustainable in western capitalism and unless there is a fundamental transformation in our markets, wealth structure, and moral beliefs the first world will continue undeveloping.

I am by no means suggesting socialism is the answer. I am graduating with an MBA from a prestigious american university at the end of the year and I’m mad as hell. Now that the criminal negligence and moral lapses in public and private leadership are so obvious to me, and yet remain so elusive to many of my classmates I am very pessimistic about the next decade.

I like capitalism, but I love competence.

Could someone check me to see if I have this correctly please? The New Democratic party can form a coalition with other probailout parties to maintain a majority in parliament. This means that Greece will be able to move on past the gridlock that has been since the last election.

The probailout coalition will attempt to keep Greece in the Euro and continue the austerity measures. However, Greece is still going to do a header because of dramatically reduced amounts of revenue. Eventually, a decision will have to made by Germans (not the French since they’ve doubled down on stupid) and allies to keep bailing out Greece or try to say monies for Spain and Italy?
