PASOK loses Rethymnis! That's solid PASOK land!

Actually its not a 42% bonus, its a FPTP bonus.

Only if you get more than 41,5-42%. If ND gets 41 % they don't get the extra 40 mandates, even if they are the largest party, as far as I understand the electoral rules. Still thinks that it is a lousy way to create a majority (or a different way to ensure a two party system)

Lol @ Radio Canada giving ND 45%

Well Wikipedia says its for the simple FPTP party, with no other rules on that, and that's how I've always seen it.

I looked at it again, and your are probably right. Actually do I think that just giving the largest party a 40 mandates bonus is even worse, when it does'nt even secure a single-party majority.

Any idea where KKE\RAD-LEFT\LAOS support was strongest?

Btw, is that small Grey strip jutting out into the sea slightly south of Thessalonki Mount Athos?

PASOK admit defeat (Live on EuroNews now)

[Hash]

That map is wrong as of now, new results

ND 153 42.38%
PASOK 103 38.31%
KKE 21 7.85% (+10!)
SYRIZA 13 4.84%
LAOS 10 (!) 3.66%

[Jens]

With 99,39% of the votes counted the result looks like this:

ND: 41,8% -3,6, 152M -13M
PASOK: 38,1% -2,4, 102M -15M
KKE: 8,2% +2,3% 22M +10M
SYRIZA: 5,0% +1,7, 14M +8M
LAOS: 3,8% +1,6, 10M +10M

[Jens]

And with real PR

ND: 41,8% -3,6, 129M
PASOK: 38,1% -2,4, 118M
KKE: 8,2% +2,3% 25M
SYRIZA: 5,0% +1,7, 16M
LAOS: 3,8% +1,6, 12M

Right: 141M 45,6%
Left: 159M 51,3%

Totally grotesque that ND can continue as a majority government! Reminds me of the old Norwegian system that favored Labour.

99.71% counted

ND 152 41.84%
PASOK 102 38.10%
KKE 22 8.15%
SYRIZA 14 5.04%
LAOS 10 3.79%

[Hash]

18.10% for KKE in Samou (but 0 seats, only 1 seat there went ND)

[Hash]

6.22% for LAOS in A' Thessalonikis (1 seat), highest score, many 5% scores though.

The fires in the Peleponessus didn't seem to give them a surge there, they're below average there but still up 1-2% from 04 though.

Current Governments in Europe:



(Post if I colored a state wrong ...)

I think your classification is a bit rough, some of those should be centrists, Christian democrats, or liberals.

I colored Belgium blue because the Flemish Conservatives won the latest elections, Finland has a more centrist coalition, the same in Estonia. I decided to color Austria red, allthough there´s a grand coalition and Germany blue (reversed situation) - but both are centrist. I don´t know about Romania, it´s a mix of center-right (president) and liberalism (prime minister) ...

I'll post my idea for such a map when I get home

I'm with Hashemite. The governments of fx The Netherlands and Switzerland contains parties of both the left and the right.

I don't really have issues with Austria or DE, I colored them according to the dominant coalition party...
