Greece 2012

[Tender Branson]

Looks like my prediction was almost correct, based on the exit polls.

Don't think that there will be enough seats for a ND-PASOK government though.

ND-PASOK-DL could swing it, but only if ND win.

insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.   thats what we may have going on here.  in 2 ways really:  people wanting a ND-PASOK govt and just have an election even.  how many elections can greece have even?   if it remains stalemate i would imagine thats when the military steps in..

If you press on the map, there are already some results shown - but nothing on the national table. Why is it? Just delay in tabulating?

Maria Kagkelidou tweets: New Democracy supporters outside electoral kiosk look uncomfortable. Not many politicians wishing to comment, many cancelling on media

Perhaps they're considering a national tally from a handful of precincts too misleading or something. I do recall they didn't add an official seats projections until some time later last time.

Maybe I should start reading the Weimar Republic history.

If I was buying into this whole "Merkel running the show" rhetoric, i'd just say that she wouldn't let it happen so as to avoid poor stereotypes.

[Peter the Lefty]

Wow.  I was right.  This will be a tense afternoon.

From the scattered precincts it looks that, aside from those anyway below the threshold, the big looser will be KKE.

[Tender Branson]

Numbers seem to come in and with about 15% in in a few districts, it seems ND is gaining the most.

Click on election districts on the Greek election site and you can see who is currently leading in each one.

Seem to be leading in most election districts, but there's nowhere more than 50%.

Whats the reporting pattern like in Greece? Do the left wing areas come in later than the right wing ones?

[Hash]

Go away, Stark. We don't want your drooling over Nazis.

[ag]

Well, yeah, SYRYZA is doing better - as does ND. And most of the improved performance is the consolidation of the previously splintered vote: the KKE fall is definitely part of the same story.

Last time I think the rural areas came in for the most part before the cities and Athens came in last, but I could be misremembering.

No, that is quite right.

And actually I have no problem whatsoever with Stark discussing the election performance of nazis. This is an elections board.

[Tender Branson]

In many areas so far, the ND is doubling its share from May.

Could be offset by a strong SYRIZA showing in the Athens area though (which currently is the case).

Thanks

[Dereich]

What has ANEL said about coalitions? I'm trying to work out what SYRIZA's options will be if it wins.

[Silent Hunter]

I assume Athinon is Athens - both districts there are well out.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Stark can post bland factual statements about the election, but does not get to drool. Attempts will be made to get him thrown off the forum again.
