The amazing result of 1 out of 4 Greeks voting for the mob is not as amazing as it seems at first.
This is what is happening:
- the Greek mob's previous party cover was PASOK; as this party dwindled and with it, the support it gave to its hard-core patrons, originally known as the "Green Guards" (MPs, union leaders, activists, civil servants, purchasing departments in hospitals, etc). So, a chunk of its supporters moved lock stock & barrel to a new, revamped party called Syriza. The idea is good: you reposition yourself more to the left, the left being nostalgic chic in Greece, and the PASOK left colours having eroded completely.
- Syriza already grouped all the starved "euro" left-wingers who, having bombed in all elections since WW-2 never had the chance to place a permanent hand in the till -- till now.
- Thus moving, the PASOK "wise guys" join forces with Greece's wannabe wise guys and create the 2nd largest party -- the PASOK of the future.
- So, Syriza is the party of the Greek "now is my turn to make my killing" mob.
We must keep in mind that the runner up's pre-election slogans included, increasing the public sector payroll by recruiting another 100,000 civil servants, increase the salaries in the Public Sector (recently salaries in the public sector were cut -- as were pensions, unfortunately). He also vowed to tax business turn-over, to use individuals' bank deposits to finance all these changes and to change the course of the future for the European Union and the world at large... |
The party has no concrete plans or strategy or tactics to offer, however! | |||||
In the face of such bullshit do the Syriza voters know something all the others do not? | |||||
