Upcoming elections! Last chance for the Greek people to be heard…

Greece is near the end of a very strange pre-election period... The upcoming elections might be the most critical of the last decades but the political scene still remains quite cloudy!

Nobody can predict what will happen next Sunday... The two (ex?) major parties are trying to gather their powers and  find a strategy that will allow to reduce leakages of voters due to the memorandum... After all, the two parties have  common political plans that are focused on the European commands for austerity and budgetary consolidation, and it is almost sure that they will join their forces in a possibly coalition government.

Of course this could happen only if PASOK and New Democracy parties manage to reach a total percentage around 38% (despite the 50-seat bonus that the 1st party will receive due to the electoral law) of the electorate to pass the 150+1 seat limit and gain  the absolute majority in the 300-seat Parliament
