Why is austerity bad, and what is the alternative?

Joke candidate?

Indeed.

People hate it because it's caused massive cuts in pensions, minimum wage, and universal tax hikes while the economy is in the hole and unemployment is astronomical. No alternative though that doesn't involve leaving the Eurozone, and even then there'd still be horrible economic repercussions. (or, that's my understanding anyway, don't know too much about the details).
So, PASOK and ND are the best?

How likely would be a ND-PASOK coalition, with Venizelos as PM?
Also, is PASOK just bluffing?
