Greece 2012

[asexual trans victimologist]

It's also XA in Greek and GD in English so I don't know where XD is coming from.

XD is a smilie/emoticon.

[Sibboleth]

Ok, can we call XD Golden Dawn?

No. The board rule is that they are to be called Golden Shower.

[Marcus Aurelius]

Isn't that Rule 34 ?

My gut feeling is that ND is going to beat out SYRIZA.  It should be something like
ND       29
SYRIZA 25
PASOK  10

At this stage the desire to get to a stable governement should be overriding all other concerns. This should be enough for ND-PASOK to get a slim majority.

lol why would Greeks want a stable government? It's pretty clear 80% of them hate Germany so they might as well go suicide bomb it.

Yeah, that'll teach us a lesson. It's attitudes like this that make me certain that the entire Euro is a stupid idea. Mooch off of the participants that are responsible and then throw a fit when mummy won't tolerate it any longer.

For their own sake, I hope the Greek voters are more responsible than that. It'd heard them a lot more than us.

Europe fed Greeks well enough before Euro.

[JulioMadrid]

My prediction:

ND 28
SRYZA 26
PASOK 14
DIMAR 7
ANEL 6
KKE 4
XA 4
DX! 3
LAOS 2 (yes, I think it'll overperform)
Greens 2
Others 3

[Peter the Lefty]

I've read rumours lately that recent opinion polls (which haven't been published) show ND ahead.  Hope the election doesn't end up like that. 

[Leftbehind]

It's a shame the Greens and SYRIZA couldn't work something out.

[Vasall des Midas]

I'd use ChrA.

[JulioMadrid]

After having supported SYRIZA last elections, and after switching my support to PASOK last month, I switch back my endorsement to Tsipiras. He HAS to win this election. Capitalism as we know it in Europe is not working. Tsipiras could change it. Samaras or Venizelos will not.

This.
And Europe was the one which closed both eyes when Greece,Austria,Germany and 90% of the countries were falsifying their budgets so that they could be within the Maastricht Criteria...

[Peter the Lefty]

What I'm hoping is that maybe there's been a "shy SYRIZA" factor here.  For any Greeks on this board, are there any people who might be somewhat embarrassed to say that they want to vote for SYRIZA, given the way it's being demonized as a party that will lead to a "Grexit?" 

[asexual trans victimologist]

Consider that if I remember correctly the 'radical' parties in general slightly underpolled at the last election, and there wasn't a terribly big expectation that ND would slip below 20%.

[Peter the Lefty]

Any results yet?  This board seems awfully quiet for election day.

[Beet]

Is it morning in Greece already?

[You kip if you want to...]

Is it morning in Greece already?

It's nearly midnight Saturday into Sunday.

[Nagas]

I hope ND/PASOK can win enough for a majority...

[Peter the Lefty]

I hope ND/PASOK can win enough for a majority...

I hope SYRIZA/DIMAR can win enough for a majority. 

[RogueBeaver]

I'm with Nagas, but I also support a Grexit.

[Ghyl Tarvoke]

I hope ND/PASOK can win enough for a majority...

I hope SYRIZA/DIMAR can win enough for a majority.  

That won't matter as DIMAR don't want to work with SYRIZA.

The most likely outcome should SYRIZA be the largest party is yet another deadlock actually (even if the KKE finally decide to drop their wearing sectarianism).

[You kip if you want to...]

The Greeks are screwed either way. I feel sorry for them, no population deserves this.

Really?  I just thought they want guarantees for staying in the Eurozone.  And that Greece won't default.
