What actually leftish policies did the HTS government get through? All I've got so far from browsing the English media is:
Gay Marriage
Very ambitious climate/renewable policies
...Err
and to counterbalance:
restrictions on migration
sell-off of DONG
limitations on unemployment and pensions
cut on income tax to top bands
officially opposing the EU Financial Transaction Tax
During her time as PM. A lot of people on the left weren't happy about her doing deals with the DPP in exchange for tighter immigration restrictions to override opposition from the left of left of center parties on the red bloc when her party wrote budgets that didn't increase spending that much.
And even during the election campaign there was a lot of centre-right people that didn't like her party but appreciated her. I think they might start to regret this if it results in a more left-wing socialdemocratic party getting in power if they win the next or next next time...
