Where's everyone getting official results? Interior's website is still blank.

Personally I hope fora a Syriza majority, so that they have the full responsibility for the "re-negotiations" with EU. It's better that there is a clear mandate behind it, and no one else can be blamed for the effects.

Epic fail DIMAR!
Who is Gklestsos?
And how Union of Centrists to get a large surge...

Gletsos is an actor and mayor of a small town.


The Centrists are led by Vasilis Leventis who is known for attacking both PASOK and ND in the '90s.

It is showing results to me.

[Helsinkian]

So it looks like ND is the most popular party in the northernmost part of the country as well as southern Peloponnese, but in all other parts Syriza is the biggest party.

[Beezer]

So what is the magic number for an outright majority? Around 36.8%?

[Meeker]

PASOK in single digits everywhere except Laconia (Sparta!)

[SNJ1985]

PASOK in single digits everywhere except Laconia (Sparta!)

Laconia is also where XA has its highest percentage at the moment.

Like half the party leadership hails from the Mani.

Leventis the leader of the Centrists was a founding PASOK member but left the party before 1981.  From what I've read it sounds like he's a really decent guy.

That's what the chart posted earlier indicates. If that's the case, SYRIZA falling 1.5-2% short right now.

[politicus]

Only 8.6% wasted votes, which makes it harder.

[Meeker]

Rhodope (Thrace) winning the anti-establishment prize - ND and PASOK together getting only 21.45%. Also SYRIZA's best region (52.73%)

[politicus]

Turnout above 60% now. It is going to be like last time in the end.

Syriza needs 37% with current number of wasted votes.

[Boston Bread]

Rhodope (Thrace) winning the anti-establishment prize - ND and PASOK together getting only 21.45%. Also SYRIZA's best region (52.73%)

Also qualifies for the largest swing - SYRIZA was third behind PASOK there in 2012.

[politicus]

Nice to get a seat distribution.

Syriza 147
ND 79
Golden Dawn 17   
Potami   16   
KKE           14   
Pasok   14
ANEL   13

The front page of tomorrow's Liberation:


Also Renzi congratulated Tsipras, and Gianni Pittella the leader of the EU Socialist group in the Parliament said that Greeks voted against austerity.  Pablo Iglesias also said that fear is fleeing.

Grow up. If the greek people are so bovine as to vote for soggy Euro-communists, then they will both deserve and need to have the colonels back to teach them a lesson.

Nice to have our own little wannabe fascist here. Personal I think people like you who support military dictatorships, only deserve to live in one.

What sort of perspective exactly does Tsipras offer? More of the same sort of spending policies that got Greece into this mess in the first place?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

RIP CAPITALISM

I wonder what happens to ND now? Is Samaras going to try and stay, or will he be toppled by one his moderate rivals?

More of the same sort of spending policies that got Greece into this mess in the first place?

smh

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

So, if SYRIZA doesn't hit 37%, do we think we're looking at a SYRIZA minority government, a SYRIZA-led coalition with some other anti-austerity party, or a SYRIZA-led coalition with Vestigial PASOK?

holy sh**t you're horrible

smh

Please do elaborate on how past Greek governments created a sound footing for the country's economy.

Syriza minority.  They got several options to cooperate with on different policy areas and Tsipras has said only KKE will do as partner and they have declined. No reason to risk a fight with his left wing by backtracking on that promise when they are so close to a majority.

[justfollowingtheelections]

Bodo Ramelow, governor of Thuringia has also called Tsipras to congratulate him.

[Insula Dei]

Syriza has made it rather clear they're not interested in governing alongside anyone else. Besides, could you imagine Venizelos as Finance minister under Tsipras?
