The poll records they do not go unnoticed. They photograph the climate but also sometimes shape it. It is not a new phenomenon. It’s always been that way. Useful tools for parties, based on which they draw their own conclusions and plan their strategy. Not exclusively, but the analyzes contain elements of applied policy.

The latest Pulse poll, in Skye, however, for the first time, he also had estimates for the day after the elections. Proving the impossibility of self-reliance and reinforcing the importance of the second electoral contest. But to get to the July ballot, there is the May 21st political “stance.” Equally, if not, perhaps more important than the repetitive one.

The prospect of self-reliance will essentially depend on the rates of simple proportionality. If one avoids the affairs of political work and remains in the “first” ballot box, one may realize both the magnitude of the value and the perspective that opens up for the next day when it is not necessary to be the self-sufficient government.

It is clear that for each party or prime minister, the one-person government forms a four-year perspective. Therefore avoiding any risk that would threaten the parliamentary majority. At the same time, the absolute possibility of implementing the policy in the economic, ideological and social fields. And this is both capable and necessary for parliamentary life. As it is possible and necessary in Greece to run out of four-year terms. For many reasons. First of all for the national economy. And then about the applied policy.

The major question that arises is essentially one and to what extent the culture of allied governments exists in Greece. And to the citizens, but mainly to the political development of the place. It is a fact that in the past there have been governments with opposing ideological views. Cooperation governments that maintained their parliamentary majority and took the most important decisions of the post-colonial period. With prime ministers from the first party…

On the old continent a large part and powerful states, have cooperation governments. The recent Pulse poll highlights, among other things, an interesting political element: 33% prefer a new electoral contest, 22% a cooperation government “here and now” and 36% an effort to cooperate before the July ballot.

In other words, everything will be judged on the night of “simple proportionality”. And the messages and the perspectives. From what the polls are currently showing, the “high” percentages of the past are… a thing of the past. Historically, it seems that the cycle of powerful governments seems to be tilting. Even self-reliance seems tenuous. For now, though. The pre-election period will shape new features. The strengthening of the bipolarity is a given. The so-called “grey” zone seems to be holding out, if not strengthening. But wasn’t this polling fact known in recent years? As well as the 440 thousand young people who will come(?) to the polls for the first time. The percentage of their participation, as noted by political analysts, will be a barometer. To what extent is it going to prove…

Like the middle class…
