25% of the Greeks are “undecided” when it comes to the question, which party would they vote. In a latest public opinion survey conducted by Kapa Research for weekly newspaper To Vima, conservative Nea Dimokratia receives 18.1%, socialist PASOK 14.3%, Communist KKE 8.2%, left SYRIZA 6%, Democratic Left 4.9%, far-right LAOS 3.6%.
Extreme right Chrysi Aygi has good chances to enter the parliament with 3.4%.
“Independent Greeks” the newly established party of former ND MP Panos Kammenos receives a respectful 7.2%.
To the question “Who is the most suitable PM?” newly elected president of PASOK, Evangelos Venizelos receives 22.9%, Antonis Samaras from Nea Dimokratia 21.7%. “None of these two” say 52.5% of the respondents.
Surprise!?
All recent public surveys show that no party would manage an overall majority. A party needs at least 44% in order to form a one-party government.
Early elections are supposed to be held on April 29th or May 6th or May 13th 2012. The official date is expected to be announced next week.
How much do ND and PASOK need to have together in order to form a coalition government?
they will have to have together (more than 151) 165 seats in the parliament of 300. The first party gets a bonus of 50 seats (blame the Greek election laws!), so the percentages are not so much the point for a colaition gov.
