Since at the polls on May 21, 19% of those who went to vote decided which candidate they would “cross” almost inside the screen, the undecided and the gray zone are again the big question for the parties.

According to the latest Pulse survey those who are still undecided about their vote hover around 8%. It is interesting if this percentage is recorded higher than the exit polls in three days, with pollsters believing that it will hardly reach the levels of the previous ballot.

And this is because May 21 has led to a result, very special for Greek political conditions, which, however, has been largely imprinted on the consciousness of the electorate. And it is a fact that the short distance between the two matches does not justify major changes.

The enhanced analogue may make the difference since the logic of the upcoming ballot box is different.

Firstly the citizens will be asked to choose a government as opposed to the simple proportional one which the majority saw as an “intermediate process”.

At the same time, the bonus to the first party “ejects” the winner and deprives the other parliamentary parties of seats.

Therefore, collaborations between the opposition forces that could lead to some kind of majority, even in the form of a tolerance vote, are almost impossible to emerge.

In the script edited by Pulse for the distribution of undecideds, h SW receives 42%, o SYRIZA 19.5%, the PASOK-KINAL 12%, the KKE 7, 4.5% h Freedom Sailing and from 4% h Greek solution and the WIN.

Hesitant citizens in relation to their vote and abstention is an unpredictable indicator for any ballot box.

If it is considered that the primacy of the New Democracy, based on the surveys, is not threatened, its percentage directly depends on those who still think which party has the best program or who is more reliable in implementing it.

The “blue” faction is looking for a strong self-reliance having managed to dominate the center area.

SYRIZA and PASOK have turned their attention to the undecided, as the “battle” of the center-left is more interesting than the emergence of the winner. And this is the great peculiarity of the coming elections.

The margins for the rise of the two parties, based on the measurements, appear to be limited and thus a few units are expected to make the difference.

The undecideds will also be a barometer for the smaller parties that have either passed or wish to pass the threshold of the Parliament.

According to the measurements made by the undecided in the simple proportional elections that finally reached the screen, they preferred New Democracy by 51.3%. 13% voted for SYRIZA, 9.6% PASOK, 3.7% KKE, while 4.1% trusted the Greek solution.
