Sticking with quotes from the Guardian Live Election Blog, New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras “Will Honour Commitments to the EU”.
Samaras summarised his speech in English:
His party would honour commitments to the EU.
It was a victory for all Europe.
A call for all political parties that share objectives to form government.
Sacrifices of Greek people will be reflected.
Determined to do what it takes and do it fast.
That message is not going to play well with Greek voters given his pledge to change conditions.
Coalition Depends On Pasok
At this point it is up to Pasok. Will that party form a coalition government or not?
Results look something like this:
New Democracy will receive 29.53% of the vote, equivalent to 128 seats.
Syriza will receive 27.12% – 72 seats.
Pasok will receive 12.2% – 23 seats.
Independent Greeks will receive 7.56% – 20 seats.
Golden Dawn will receive 6.95% – 18 seats….
