Three weeks before Greece has another election, opinion pollspublished indicated the election will result in no single partygaining a majority in parliament, but two parties that favourimplementing Greece's bailout programmes could be able toform a coalition government. The four surveys show that Greek voters, tired of more than twoyears of austerity that have seen salaries and pensions cut and newtaxes imposed, nonetheless want Greece to keep the euro and notrevert to its own currency, the drachma. The polls were published on Sunday in the To Vima, Real News, Proto Thema and Eleftheros Typos newspapers. The polls indicate that pro-bailout New Democracy party andanti-bailout Syriza would probably finish first and second again,but that New Democracy would win more seats in parliament thanduring the May 6 national election, allowing it to team up withSocialist PASOK in a governing coalition. Voters angry at austerity measures had given both the conservativesand socialists a drubbing on May 6, dropping them to historicallows. The socialists, winners of the previous election in 2009 droppedfrom 43.9 percent to 13.2 percent of the vote and third place,while the conservatives won but saw their vote drop from 33.5percent to 18.9 percent. Syriza, the main beneficiary of the protest vote, jumped from fifthplace and 4.6 percent in 2009 to second and 16.7 percent. The polls show New Democracy ahead of Syriza from 0.5 to 5.7percent, reversing a trend in recent opinion polls in which Syrizawas seen as the front-runner. Both New Democracy and Syriza are expected to poll well above 20percent while the third-place socialists are halting their slideand smaller parties are squeezed. The polls also estimate that New Democracy and the socialists willhave a combined 159 to 165 seats in the 300-member parliament, upfrom 149 in the outgoing one, allowing them to form a pro-bailout,pro-austerity government. They could conceivably be joined by the Democratic Left, which isprojected to elect from 13 to 16 deputies, down from 19. All threeparties want a partial renegotiation of the bailout deal to boosteconomic growth, while Syriza has called for immediate repudiation.
