The TIF did not leave a significant positive footprint in the parties. Pulse, Metron Analysis and MRB have shown in the week that the public has a waiting attitude and awaits more samples from both the government and the opposition. It is obvious that in relation to the majority, citizens are waiting to see their pocket profits from the tax reduction of Maximus. The New Democracy in the vote is about 29%, keeping the gap about 15 points from the second PASOK. The only significant change recorded is the decline presented by the navigation of freedom with the Nikos Androulakis to show to ‘clean’ at least for the time being the case second from the Zoe Konstantopoulou.

The main goals, as set at the end of summer, do not change. For the blue lineup it is to slowly approach the goal of self -reliance – and all show that the road will be difficult – and for the forces of the progressive arc to find the person who will lead the space. ‘Equation’ is wone by rumors about the recovery of Alexis Tsipras. To the set of sample and in the question “Which of the following political persons can better express and more responsibly in the center -left.” For Pulse 16% replied Alexis Tsipras, 14% o Nikos Androulakis10% or Zoe Konstantopoulou4% o Yiannis Varoufakis3% o Socrates and the Stefanos Kasselakis and 2% the Alexis Haritsis. The only pure “winner” was the answer “none of the above” with 29%. And this item cannot be overcome as it illuminates the fact that by now the Kyriakos Mitsotakis seems to have no opponent.

What do these first numbers in September mean? For the former prime minister that he should present an innovative platform and possibly his return should be a product of a social demand. For him Nikos Androulakis That the simple conflict with the government over TIF measures is not enough, as are the proposals presented in Thessaloniki. Of course, PASOK has a road ahead of it so that it can communicate its program. SYRIZA stabilizes in the 6% – 7% zone, but this is not enough. In Parliament with the OPEKEPE exam, with the budget and many bills such as the electoral law on local government, the parties’ strategy will be developed in the coming period and investigating any possibility of cooperation.

The turmoil, as well as the stagnation in the center -left go together. This is reflected in Pulse’s first poll for the new political season. Many estimated that Alexis Tsipras’ speech to the Economist on September 5 had more social -democratic features without references to the left with the former prime minister turning his gaze to the center. In Pulse’s poll to the same question, about who can better and more responsibly express the center -left area, the “first” is exchanged between the former SYRIZA president and the head of PASOK when addressing specific audiences. Those who are self -characterized as centers choose the Nikos Androulakis at 28% and followed by Alexis Tsipras with 12% and the Zoe Konstantopoulou with 9%. Those who place themselves in the center -left place give a lead to Alexis Tsipras (28%) and follow Nikos Androulakis (19%), Zoe Konstantopoulou (11%). The dilemmas come automatically: Should the former president of SYRIZA look more at the ideological space that made him prime minister in 2015? Is there room for further penetration in the center? The “puzzle” about who will be able to lead the site will be largely resolved by the undecided who in the Pulse poll have increased by 2%. The gray zone reached 17%.

Pulse, Metron Analysis and MRB asked citizens the question of how they would (hypothetically) deal with the possibility of a new party led by Alexis Tsipras. The potential percentage received by the former prime minister is just above 20% is a good starting point, without showing a particular dynamic. He has not changed for himself and he does not seem to be willing to open his papers. At this time, all he is concerned about is the writing of his book and the staffing of his Institute.
