Re: Greek 2007 Elections
Yeah, but I remain hopeful for the future... hope is all we have left. That and our arms stockpile that no one knows about...

Re: Greek 2007 Elections
To be fair CR, that's not entirely true. I'm sure the socialism Count Arch has in mind resembles little of what was practice in most of those countries you speak of.
Re: Greek 2007 Elections
Bah. It's our turn here already, and has been for 2 years. And it'll be another four years in 2009

Re: Greek 2007 Elections
Indeed very different, but this is getting off topic...
Tell me about it...You're just living in the wrong side of the planet...

Re: Greek 2007 Elections
To get this on topic again:
What are the policies of the "New Democracy"-party? I assume the socialist party is the standard labour/social democrat party...
And how will they form their government? Will they form a minority government, or ally with another party to gain majority? And which of those parties will form a government?

Re: Greek 2007 Elections
Two questions about Greek politics which do not include the fires.
1. whats this business about Macedonia? I caught a quip of it on BBC news, can a greek or an EU member expand on this?
2. Whats the new governments official policy on Cyprus/Turkey?

Re: Greek 2007 Elections
I don't know if there have been any new developments on this lately, but Greece doesn't like that this particular country uses the name "Macedonia".
The Greek see this as a claim of heritage to the ancient kingdom of the same name, and some modern Macedonian nationalists do explicitly claim descendence. In reality, the inhabitants of the Republic of Macedonia are a mix between Bulgars and Slavs and their language is closely related to Bulgarian. Obviously they weren't around yet in the time of Philip or Alexander the Great.
One example is the flag they used in the early 90'ties wich depicted the "Vergina sun", wich is thought to be the symbol of the royal family of the ancient kingdom. Greece didn't like it, and after a long dispute they finally changed it.
Re: Greek 2007 Elections
If I recall wasnt Macedonia a province of Yugoslavia?
I do realize that ancient Macedonia was centered around Thrace (well i think I remember it that way, havent looked at that period in a long time), but Macedonia the province has exsisted since the end of WWII.
Were there objections then? Forgive my ignorance this really is a new one on me (greece's objection)

Re: Greek 2007 Elections
1. Greece still is disputing the naming policy, but it has been relatively quiet after the flag issue.
2. The New Democracy is not new in control of Greece, it's been in power for a while. Our stance in Turkey hasn't changed, neither has Cyprus.
Re: Greek 2007 Elections
Laugh all you want to, you know it's going to happen
Anyway, it's either a red government or nothing it all.... God knows the parties on ze other side can't agree on anything except not being socialists...

Re: Greek 2007 Elections
Hey, I just found these maps:
http://psephos.adam-carr.net/countri...2004maps.shtml
that show the electoral result percentages for each of the 3 main parties and I noticed that Central Greece has a huge popular base for the Left-wing parties. I was wondering if there was any particular reason for that?
