"The Spartans party, which said Greece was threatened by uncontrolled migration, was the surprise of the campaign. It was set to gain 4.7% of the vote and up to 13 seats in parliament, based on the early results.
The group was catapulted from relative obscurity after support from Ilias Kasiadiaris, the frontman of the now-banned Golden Dawn far-right party. His own party was barred from the elections and he endorsed the Spartans from jail."

I hate to be pessimistic, but if the reforms include raising the age to get a pension or cutting back on the generosity of the Welfare State, there will be riots and this party will be out.

>>Conservative leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis won Greece’s national elections on Sunday (25 June) with a clear majority
How can they know that? It’s only been a day. What about the mail-in ballots, the provisional ballots, all the ballots without signatures, and the boxes of ballots stored in the basement of the far-left party’s headquarters? By now, there must be a lot of cemeteries in Greece, surely those residents’ votes have not yet been counted...

The margin is the widest for the conservatives in almost 50 years, as voters rewarded them for nursing Greece back to economic health after a crippling debt crisis. Too bad the stupid US Republican party won't learn any lessons from this.
