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.

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.

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!
