Greek 'Elections': Continued One Party Rule or a Coalition Govt?

All indications in the previous period were that the New Democracy administration would implode under the severe Lockdown measures, the economic crash, and the train crash this February when millions hit the streets in protest. Instead of that ND both increased its vote in absolute numbers and as a percentage which Syriza the official opposition lost one third of its electoral base in absolute numbers (600k) and around 12% voting share. No exit polls predicted this.

Electoral Fraud and Voting Irregularities 
The numbers just don’t add up.

In the 2021 census there were 10.4m citizens approximately.

The electoral results both for 2019 and 2023. 

How many are signed up to vote: 9.8m 

Taking into account children under 18 don’t vote and there are around 500k very old citizens with mobility and other issues who don’t vote (no postal vote exists in Greece) that leaves out approximately 2m people. So the electoral base isn’t 9.8m, nor could 5.5m have voted if we had a 40% abstention. Around 1.5m have been added up electronically by Singular Logic

 Bourgeois parliamentarism in this era of deep crisis of global capitalism has surpassed the interwar period of the 3rd Reich. Hitler never one outright in an electoral battle he was only ever the first party and was appointed by the Chancellor Hindenburgh. 

Nowadays the fraud is so blatant and open that it has surpassed anything the 3rd Reich had achieved. Fraud in the electoral process in Greece is not new. During the cold war in the 1950’s when the Left came second fraud was immense, the joke was trees and dead people voted. Nowadays its obviously done by computer.

 One set of results exist at the polling stations and another arrive at the centre. The issue is why doesn’t the opposition say anything regarding the publicly available information where the numbers don’t add up?

The Aegean Issue 
Syriza for decades had the line that the Aegean belongs to its fish and that if a section of it goes to Turkey its no big issue. The same has been stated by New Democracy politicians in different words in particular by the sister of the current PM, Dora Bakogianni. 

 The bottom line is that the US is in a long period of conflict with NATO member Turkey and has tried to get rid of Erdogan in a colour revolution in 2016 and since with the attack on the banks and the engineered earthquake. 

 As Greece is Americas actual backyard offering a section of the Aegean to Turkey under Erdogan is clearly out of the question hence a coalition government may be put on the back burner, despite all the previous attacks on ND by international media outlets inc the New York Times, Guardian, BBC etc . and domestic allegations of paedophilia, economic fraud and gross negligence regarding the recent train crash (which by all accounts appears engineered). 

Next Elections 
If Syriza cannot get an agreement with PASOK to vote tactically ie to withdraw candidates where PASOK is num 2 and vice versa then by all accounts Mitsotakis will gain an absolute majority as the next elections will be with an enhanced majority ie one will require around 37% to form a government on their own and gain a 151 majority unlike the current ones which were base on proportional representation and one required +46%.

What is strange is that Syriza did not actually lead any campaign apart from a lacklustre one and a few day before the elections their ex-Penstions Minister Katrougalos announced a massive hidden increase in tax for the self-employed for which there are many in Greece, thus openly undermining the electoral outcome. This is reminiscent of the 2012 first elections where Tsipras announced he would house and feed any migrunt blow in that happens to arrive on Greek shores.

It's clear that since 2009 however you look at it with or without electoral fraud abstention remains the number one ‘political party’ in Greece surpassing whatever votes are assigned to the number one party by a very large margin (4m to 2.5m). Hence any party that governs is a minority party in society as a whole and however much electoral fraud they practice they cannot conceal this.

Politics is at an impasse in Greece as all the parties standing are anti-Russian, pro-EU, pro-Euro, open borders and hyperglobalists. Whatever forces exist opposed to this aren’t participating in the electoral charade.
