Gentlemen, gentlemen (or ladies, ladies), could we please get back to a discussion of the Greek elections? This is a great thread and we need to focus on the matter at hand.

your'e right. Just saw your post. I apologize.

The best thing for Greece is to leave the EU and wean itself off of Socialism.

“The best thing for Greece is to leave the EU and wean itself off of Socialism.”

This is mostly true. Something similar to the transformation Poland underwent, and now they have the fastest growing economy in Europe.

Could Greece leave the EU without collapsing? Greece has one of the most radical of the still-existing Marxist movements (although I’ve never understood why) and I think the only thing holding the country in place is that it has to look “respectable” for the EU.

That said, even if the New Democracy party has won, I’m not sure that’s enough. They will have to form a coalition to govern. What I have read is that a lot of the young people who were the last-minute voters voted for New Dawn (think Ron Paul), which is wrongly considered neo-Nazi, but in any case wouldn’t be very cooperative with the more mainstream conservative party.

Another poster on another site said that the collapse is inevitable regardless of which party wins this election.
