Looks like it's going to be a mish-mash, with the feared and media-hated conservatives leading.

Sorry, I don't speak Greek.

It’s all Greek to me.

In general I favor doing nothing. Any alleged solutions to this mess have massive transfer from U.S. taxpayers (net-net) written all over it.

Don't know much about it however isn't Greece pretty much past the point of no return as for as self destruction goes with their economy or is there still hope for them?

The austerity measures imposed by the two main parties have caused them to lose much of their support.

The Greek Republicans (New Democracy) and Democrats (Socialists-PASOK) cut the spending and raised taxes simultaneously.

As a conservative I don’t support higher taxes and the people on the other side in this country don’t want programs cut.

But when the big parties get together in a “crisis” they impose policies that conservatives and liberals alike despise.

In Greece, a left-wing party will get a large chunk of the vote because of the budget cuts.

A fascist party will also get over five percent of the vote.

When this country’s debt bubble bursts, the Romneys and Obamas will do nothing less than what those parties in Grecce did.

The conservative plan is the only one. CUT THE SPENDING, CUT THE SPENDING, CUT THE SPENDING, DO NOT RAISE TAXES, DO NOT RAISE TAXES, DO NOT RAISE TAXES....

The Greek RINO’s and socialists have failed the test with their “bipartisan” austerity and the alternatives Greek voters are choosing look like anarchy, communism and fascism.

I hope when the test comes to our country, we will choose better.

How do these figures represent a change from the previous lineup?

ND = New Democracy. PASOK = Socialists. KKE = Communists.

XRYSH AYGH would mean "golden dawn" in ancient Greek, but I have no idea what the party stands for, or what the other names represent.

One thing has been obvious for all (except for those who woiuldn't and still won't see) that those countries who joined the €uro-experiment would one day have to decide whether to stay inside the eurozone or to keep their democracy. Greece is very close to the day of decision if the exit polls are even close to correct.

About 60% of the new parliament would be against the package agreed between the former Greek government and the EU, IMF and ECB.

Meanwhile, the Jerusalem Post is reporting about Jews worried about the "rise of the far right" in Greece, but is just fine with the Muslim-supporting Left. Go figure.

In any Event Golden Dawn is expected to get 6 to 8 percent of the vote.
