The full results of today's (17/6/12) Greek Parliamentary election won't be available until the very early morning tomorrow (18/6/12) which is Sunday evening Mexico/G20 time. However the first exit polls are out and at the top end of their estimates they show New Democracy winning with 30% of the vote, SYRIZA coming second with 27% of the vote and PASOK coming third with 12% of the vote.
Obviously we still need to see if these estimates are accurate and being Parliamentary election how they translate into seats won. However it looks as though New Democracy and PASOK will fall just short of being able to form a coalition government and will not work with SYRIZA. The hard left SYRIZA coalition will then have to try and form a governing coalition with all the other parties including the fascist Golden Dawn Party. So basically we're in exactly the same position we were six weeks ago and Greece is headed for yet another election during which time no work can be done to fix Greece's stricken economy
Seriously at this point wouldn't it just have been easier to stick with the government of national unity?
