As elections in Greece approach on June 25, the ruling conservative “New Democracy” party is aiming for a decisive 40% of the vote, which would give it an outright majority and allow it to create a one-party administration. As a result, the Conservative Party is attempting to re-energize the 2.4mn individuals who supported them in the May elections.
Andreas Drimiotis is known as a forefather of information technology in Greece. Since 1981, his principal function has been to gather and report the results of polls and voting across the country. Drimiotis has been dubbed the "guru of Greek elections."
Andreas Drimiotis, Election Consultant, "Regardless of how many parties come through, I believe "New Democracy" will be able to secure an absolute majority in parliament and secure 160 out of 300 seats," informs Andreas. A bigger proportion of people had previously voted for New Democracy, with a somewhat smaller proportion voting for SYRIZA (The Coalition of the Radical Left – Progressive Alliance). SYRIZA voters are unhappy and feel the party has no prospects as a result of the loser mentality, therefore SYRIZA will win even fewer votes.
At the moment, the number of small parties that can enter the Greek Parliament remains a significant issue for conservatives. The more of them there are in parliament, the more difficult things will be for "New Democracy".
One of the primary topics of discussion during this brief pre-election period was migration, particularly in light of the deaths of refugees off the coast of Pylos that was reported by Daryo on June 20. Another issue is the country's economy, which has long been a source of concern for Greek citizens. The issue of the Muslim minority sparked fierce debate between the two major parties.
