Results of Greek Elections [2015]

[Mr.Panos]

Anti-austerity party Syriza has won a clear victory in Greece's general election.

With nearly 70% of the votes counted, it is projected to win 149 seats, just two short of an absolute majority, though that number could change.

Party leader Alexis Tsipras, who has vowed to renegotiate Greece's debt with international creditors, said "today the Greeks wrote history".

The ruling New Democracy has come a distant second.

Outgoing Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has admitted defeat and phoned Mr Tsipras to congratulate him.

Personally, I am quite disappointed. I think that the next step is this:

Your country has had a few hard years of austerity, and I guess because of that your country wanted to take a different approach. Though I think his policies will not work, as he said he is focused on growth and job creation which is great, but where will he get the money?

Also another worry is that will he default on the countries repayments?

But I can see Greece moving away from the EU.

It is true that we have had some very difficult years, but I don't know if the next ones will be better. 😉

I am quite happy with this result. In times of great economic peril, people always turn to extremes. Often throughout History we have seen people turn to the extreme right, Nazi Germany for example. I am glad Syriza won office instead of Golden Dawn.
