Government and opposition are asking for time, but the citizens are in a hurry
By Antonis Anzoletou
After the European elections, the parties are looking to find their pace. The multiple problems of everyday life, the pressure they face from society and the general questioning of the political system are the tripartite factors that affect their poll percentages.
Government and opposition are asking for time, but the citizens are in a hurry. And with winter ahead, matters related to accuracy will monopolize interest. The government is already receiving many questions from MPs focusing on the economy and relief for the lower classes.
SYRIZA is going through the most difficult phase of its twenty-year career and is headed to the polls completely divided.
The PASOK is holding elections tomorrow to elect a new president with many questions for the next day. They have, however, on their side the measurements that show it consolidating in the position of official opposition.
In the scenario of the distribution of undecideds, presented yesterday by Pulse on behalf of SKAI’s central news bulletin, New Democracy appears to maintain its increased strength compared to the June polls at 30%. It remains at the same levels as the image that existed 15 days ago. The absence of the two former prime ministers from the 50th anniversary celebration may have marked the event in Rigillis, however in the government camp they believe that the three years remaining until the elections is enough time to change the climate. The question always remains the third self-reliance series. They face the pressure they receive from a portion of MPs with composure, while the “massage” of leading ministers towards K.O. it is continuous. The government’s profile in recent days has been boosted by the Prime Minister’s attendance at the annual UN meeting in New York. What gives “points” to the blue faction is the fact that the people moving in the space of the center do not find any other alternative to which they could move in this period.
For SYRIZA, the downward trend continues and everything is in store for a very difficult autumn. With the percentage reaching 11.5%, PASOK is starting to see from a distance which is rising and according to Pulse it is at 15.5%. In addition to the division and the “warlike” climate that prevails in Koumoundourou, they have to face the following problem: while in the “green camp” they will have resolved their internal parties and will begin to focus on their opposition work, they will still be looking for SYRIZA to find their new president. The second round of elections will be held on December 1. As for the next day, many discount the split.
In PASOK, it is no coincidence that the slogan that has been loudly heard lately by the candidates is that in their elections the new leader of the party is not elected, but the candidate for prime minister. In the Pulse survey, in all questions about the new chief, Mr Nikos Androulakis precedes, however, depending on the public who will come to the polls, it feels the “breath” of Harry Doukas, Anna Diamantopoulos and Pavlos Geroulanos. For the three the battle seems to be open as well.
In the Pulse poll, the KKE appears strengthened and reaches 10.5% and the Hellenic Solution 9.5%. Both “threaten” SYRIZA and want to take advantage of the fact that it is going through a period of instability. They are followed by Voice of Reason 4.5%, Freedom Swim 4%, Victory 3.5%, MeRA25 3%, New Left 2.5% and Spartans 2%.
