While New Democracy (center right) appears headed - with bonus seats - for a majority, as many as nine parties will enter parliament. These include: Syriza (radical left), Pasok (center left) and Communist. The Spartans, a right-wing extremist party, has done surprising well. Four other parties (a pro-Russia party, an orthodox conservative party, another radical left party and another center-left party) teeter on the threshold for entering parliament.

Yeah, the ‘hole’ conservative/lib thing gets confusing when talking about the eu and that part of the world. 🤔

Greece and Italy need to start fining these NGOs for every boatload they pick up and sending the ‘migrants’ back. Let them land on the beaches of Nice or Barcelona instead.

Lots of political parties there. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. But I am a bit disappointed that there’s no Silly Party. Perhaps that’s just a UK thing.

thanks rktman.
Our (mostly) two-party system leads us to think there’s one dimension to the political spectrum, and individuals, groups within parties, and parties themselves are arrayed from the center out to the extremes in two directions (left and right). In European parliamentary systems with proportional representation, you often find smaller parties “off” the left-right spectrum. Accordingly, I provide taglines, such as “center-right,” for the Greek parties.

I notice it seems there are factions from 12-15 different parties in some extreme left to extreme right and a kitchen sink tossed in representation. 😁👍

Whenever I read about Greek elections, the musicologist in me thinks about the original Greek opera,
O ypopsifios, "The Candidate", about a fictional 1800s Greek Parliament election, composed by Spyridon Xyndas. Opa!
