Greece, or why Europe's doomed

So what are we to make of the election results?

[Satchmo Distel]

Centre-right landslide = more friendly to depredations of global capital?

[DCI Harry Batt]

Even more friendly than the outgoing government? That's got to be tough.

[Nocturnal Submission]

Golden Dawn look as though they won't reach the 3% threshold for seats, which is nice.

Democracy is dead. When is the revolution?

I mean, aren't these (the center-right ND party) the same bastards whose false accounting led to the Greek financial crisis to begin with? That party should be electorally dead and buried.

Someday soon, Fianna Fáil will be in power in Ireland again. Idiots gonna idiot.

[anton pulisov]

[Lang Spoon]

Oh aye. And they got that passport sorted for Auntie Elsie she hadn't bothered her a fuck about till the week before flying to the Algarve as well. And they sorted out planning permission out for yer cousin's one off housing in the arse end of nowhere too...

But however shit disappointing Tsipiras has been, he looks like FDR next to the FF lads. Poor Greece and its voting pensioner bloc.

No-one ever forgives you for saving society or dealing with reality. They Blame you, regardless of whether or not its your fault,because something bad happened to them, and you need to be punished. Now they've elected someone who promises that he will cut their taxes, the stupid, selfish cunts, as though there is going to be any point in the next thirty years where they can cut their taxes.

This is why Greece wound up burning itself to the ground.

It's worth pointing out that Syriza hardly got blown out. They lost under 4% of the vote, and that's with Varoufakis's MeRA25 sailing into Parliament and the remnants of PASOK also increasing their vote share. If it wasn't for the 50-seat bonus the plurality party receives in Greek elections (which Tsiprias and Syriza tried to abolish, but failed to get the necessary parliamentary majority), Syriza could probably form a coalition or minority government.
