Re: Scorecard (none / 0)

And the pro-austerity coalition has a majority of two seats. I wonder how long that will last?

Re: Scorecard (none / 0)

And now none. It's officially a hung parliament, with 150 for the quislings and 150 against.

Re: Scorecard (4.00 / 6)

Projections are for 149. They will try - in increasing order of desperateness: a. To cut a deal with DEM.AR conceivably offering Fotis Kouvelis, the prime-ministerial seat b. Cut a deal with Kammenos c. Entice or bribe MPs from these two parties to support a government d. Fall on their knees to beg SYRIZA to enter some sort of government.

Or they can call for elections again under new management and line-up.
