They really only got about 7% of the vote last time around. In fact I think they lost a few seats and are down to 18. I agree Greece is in a world of sh*t, but the majority seem to determined to stay in the Eurozone and I just don't see any real widespread support for Golden Dawn. You could certainly be right here, but my guess is they may have already hit their high water mark.
In reality, they are a bunch of skinheads. But the people in power now are a bunch of crypto-Marxists.
Yup, I don't disagree with you at all. It's not just Greece. These European countries are determined to hang on to their inefficient, bankrupt social welfare states. It really goes to show what a poison socialism truly is - especially when a population chooses it voluntarily.
That was in the last election. I’m talking about public support that is polled, putting them in the mid-teens, at the expense of both major parties. You can only keep people in poverty for so long before they snap. Greeks are suffering, and they don’t trust the media or the leadership. Golden Dawn speaks to that. I think the only chance for the Eurocrats to avoid them eventually winning is for Greece to recover.
Like you said, the poison that is socialism is the cause of the problem, and they’re so committed to it, I doubt Greece is getting out of trouble any time soon.
In the June 2012 elections they got 6.92%, down from 6.97%, and lost three seats, going from 21 to 18. According to an April poll, Golden Dawn would get 11% if elections were held now. Greece is turning anti-EU and anti-Islamic-immigrant
