They might win the majority of votes today, but can they form a coalition to govern? That was the hangup before. They could not. I know that if Syriza wins today, they get some kind of 'bonus' that might help them form a coalition government. But also the opposition will get this bonus' if they happen to win.

ND is the projected winner on NET.

but can they form a coalition to govern? That was the hangup before

But this time you'll have all the western powers on their backs to make it work (which is why ND is currently ahead...pressure has been put on from outside...if the election was held 10 days ago, Syriza would have won IMO).

Re; “can they form a coalition to govern?”

I surely don’t know but Zerohedge has a map up that is interesting and this comment:

“Finally throwing a monkey wrench in all coalition creation plans is the following:

•Pasok’s Diamantopoulou announces it would not join coalition government with ND if Syriza is not in
Needless to say, Syriza would not join in a coalition whose core premise is everything Syria strives to abolish.”
