Aigina
Agistri (Apparently the Nazis there are tied at first place with New Democracy)

Re: Scorecard (4.00 / 2)

Awesome. The Mediterranean vacation paradise island, located in a sea where you actually feel you are in the cradle of democracy and Western civilization as the sun sets where the land falls at Corinth, has now been turned into a pseudo-Nazi stronghold.

Thank you ECB! I'll remember to wear my swastika t-shirt at my next visit!

Oh, and by the way.

"The rise in political extremism in Europe," writes Financial Times columnist Wolfgang Munchau, "is in part the consequence of stubbornness and stupidity among centrist elites."

Re: Scorecard (none / 0)

Ehm... about Corinth? It was the prefecture / voting district with the highest percentage of Nazi voters in Greece...

Re: Scorecard (4.00 / 3)

And BTW, if you go there regularly and they know you? Don't. Let them know why you won't. It's about time that some people realize that when your island votes Nazi, this has the result of people avoiding your island and your business. Aigina at least had the Nazis running sixth...

Re: Scorecard (none / 0)

My friends who live there are actually Swedes, and I don't think they are going anywhere. They've owned a house on Agistri for about 20 years, and spend basically half the year living there.

You know, things would work much better in Europe economically speaking, if a million Germans followed their lead. ;)
